More than 200 men have taken their clothes off for peace at Byron Bay.
Two weeks ago, more than 700 women went naked in a paddock in the hills behind Byron Bay to spread their anti-war message - yesterday it was the men's turn.
They used their nude bodies to spell out the words "Peace Man" on the Red Devils' football ground.
Protest organiser Cameron Sparkes-Carroll says they chose a football field because sportsgrounds are designed to maintain the fitness of men in peaceful times.
Mr Sparkes Carroll says he was not disappointed by the low number of men who turned up.
"As much as I would have liked thousands to have turned up, we...[had] 250 men here...and they are getting their message across to the national media that have come here," he said.
Yesterday's protest was joined by members of the comedy production, "Puppetry of the Penis".
