This thread will feature a collection of images dedicated to the Suburban Centrefolds calendars as conceived by the Australian Hit Network during the turn of the decade. This will feature a number of ordinary guys who have stripped naked for the body positive photoshoot, years before body positive shoots even became a thing. Any Australian who listened to the radio at this time should remember this.

I have photos from several of the radio stations who did this, but I assume that every station from the Hit Network took part with this shoot. I think the Suburban Centrefold idea was originally thought of by Melbourne's Fox FM in 2008, but I don't have anything from that year - 2009 was the year I first heard about this.

I kick things off with Adelaide's 107.1 SAFM (now known as Hit107). I'm most familiar with this station's contribution because I was living there at the time and I remember seeing their story feature on A Current Affair (no, I don't have the video of it anymore). I also want to start off here because SAFM released the most photos from the shoots and had the most guys taking part. There were six men who stripped down for the cameras and each person had a theme to their shoot, some of which were obvious to understand.

Michael (below) was the January feature and had a summer themed photoshoot:

Chris is another one whose month I've since forgotten, but what I do know is that his theme was loosely based around the typical tradie (so Aussie!) - right down to the tools and iced coffee. The fourth photo is one of the all-time favourites, and I can only imagine how lucky the photographer must have been when they took it!

This one, however, is my all-time favourite shoot by the radio station - and I don't even like football! Russell's photos were AFL (Australian Football League) themed, and he was definitely September because the grand final is around that time (if not, later). The point is, I always fancied him, he was the best looking for me and his poses were so sexy and risqué:

I'm now going to share the photos from FOX FM's shoots from 2009-ish (I think this was when these shots were released). They had the least guys but had the most behind the scenes photos. Andrew Cannalonga was the youngest of the three and was also the cutest looking, only using an electric guitar to hide his modesty:

Andrew Peavey's shoot was also sports themed, and like Russell's from before this was my favourite from the FOX FM version of the calendar. Judging by the photos he was very confident in his own skin and was given the sexiest poses to do. As far as I'm aware none of the photos were uncensored, but wouldn't it have been amazing if they were?

The last set of photos I currently have are from B105 FM (now Hit105) in Brisbane. There were fewer photos than the other two sets but only a few more guys than FOX's version of the calendar. These are they. You can check out the rest of the calendar by clicking here:

Oh yes awesome post mate!

Love both Andrews in the FOX shots and remember these well.

The Hit Network used to feature good ordinary guy nudity previously, haha. I don't know if you have them, but around the same time Perth's 92.9 had a Hot Cross Bums competiton with guys sending pics of their arse in over Easter? lol.

Also, a presenter I think on now Nova, Ross Wallman aka "Hot Ross" used to do some pretty sexy shoots for them as the "work experience guy".

Do you have any of either?
