The 1907 Sydney bathing costume protests were a response to a proposed ordinance by the Waverly Shire Council to require the wearing of a skirt-like tunic by male bathers. On the morning of Sunday 20 October, thousands of surf bathing enthusiasts poured onto the sands of Bondi, Manly, and Coogee beaches in various types of feminine dress enacting a humorous mockery of the proposed regulations. The protest at Bondi was reportedly the largest of the three, with a "swarm of humanity" participating in and observing the protests. The positivity with which the protests were regarded by both the general public and the media proved the end for the Waverly council's costume proposal; the tunic/skirt ordinance was not included in the beach ordinances promulgated in the following months.

dbo:abstract
  • The 1907 Sydney bathing costume protests were a response to a proposed ordinance by the Waverly Shire Council to require the wearing of a skirt-like tunic by male bathers. On the morning of Sunday 20 October, thousands of surf bathing enthusiasts poured onto the sands of Bondi, Manly, and Coogee beaches in various types of feminine dress enacting a humorous mockery of the proposed regulations. The protest at Bondi was reportedly the largest of the three, with a "swarm of humanity" participating in and observing the protests. The positivity with which the protests were regarded by both the general public and the media proved the end for the Waverly council's costume proposal; the tunic/skirt ordinance was not included in the beach ordinances promulgated in the following months. This protest was separate to the 1935 NSW state ordinance relating to the Spooner bathing costume mostly directed at male wearers as bathing trunks were considered 'disgraceful'. (en)
  • De badkledingprotesten in Sydney van 1907 waren een reactie op een door het bestuursgebied Waverly voorgestelde verordening om mannelijke strandgangers te verplichten een rok-achtig tuniek te dragen. In de ochtend van 20 oktober 1907 stroomden duizenden strandfanaten in vrouwelijke kledij de stranden op om het voorstel op ludieke wijze te bespotten. Het protest op Bondi Beach was volgens media het grootst van de drie (te weten Bondi, en Manly), daar er naar verluidt "een mensenzwerm" de demonstratie aanschouwde. De protesten werden door het volk en door de media erg positief ontvangen. Ze hadden succes tot gevolg: uiteindelijk werd de verordening niet in het reglement opgenomen. (nl)
