Introducing Nimbin
Landing in Nimbin can be like entering a social experiment, particularly at noon, when Byron day-trippers arrive en masse and find themselves hectored by dreadlocked, tie-dyed pot dealers on the main street. This is the stereotype, of course (not all the pot dealers wear tie-dye), and Nimbin’s residents and culture are actually far more eclectic. A day or two here will reveal a growing artist community, a New Age culture and welcoming locals.

Nimbin the phenomenon started in 1973, when the Australian Union of Students staged an experimental ‘Aquarius Festival’ in the Nimbin Valley. The event was a great success, and some attendees stuck around, determined to turn the sleepy town into a permanent haven for like-minded souls.
