Robert,
Shouldn't that be a 'family of all Tasmanians'
a cell of policemen.
a plague of lawyers
a proposition of philosophers
a confusion of economists
a fantasy of religious leaders
a grounding of UFOlogists
a welcoming of fforumites

Going back to nudists: I was at the local nude beach this afternoon* - Maslins, in South Australia - and I think 'a cancer ward of nudists' is the most appropriate.
-* Actually- on the cliffs above the beach about 200 feet up and back.
