As a result , this is expected to inspire a horde of Queenslanders to perform copycat acts in major malls throughout the Sunshine State to cash in on the clever stunt . This , it is predicted , will be extensive in Townsville , home of the mainly fully clothed Cowboys rugby league team .
Magnetic Island , once dubbed Cowboys Island during a football mad season, is certain to experience pop up , competing naked cowboys at the busy ferry terminal and the popular tourist attraction - the dump tip shop .
There are signs that the naked cowboy craze is likely to spread to other parts of the north . In the Northern Territory , for example , there has been a noticeable spike in the sale of Bonds underwear, fancy bamboo jocks , expensive guitars and underarm sprays.
