Naked models covered in redbacks, snakes Artists have converged on the Queensland town of Eumundi for the Australian Body Art Carnivale. COVERING your naked body with redback spiders, snakes and crocodiles or smuggled budgies peeping out of your swimmers isn't on everyone's list of weekend priorities. But for competitors at the 2013 Australian Body Art Carnivale this weekend, bolder is better. More than 100 body artists from around the country converged on the tiny town of Eumundi in Queensland, to paint nude and semi-naked models. Bare bums, legs, arms, chests and heads were painted with spiders, snakes, crocs, frogs, butterflies and even tiny parrots peaking out of budgie smugglers. Over 10,000 people have come to see brush and sponge, airbrush, special effects, face painting, wearable and car bonnet artworks. The not-for-profit event was organised by Eumundi's chamber of commerce.
