Nimbin


No Service.

Nimbin Museum.
The countryside. 
Look close. Theres a roo.
The Rainforest.


This is Nimbin.  For those of you who do not know, Nimbin was established as a small hippy community in the 70's and has since kept the same community feeling and sense of freedom, along with the impetus to participate in public action and political reform.  The town itself is full of beatnik types and lots and lots of dreadheads.  The drugs laws, although there, are very very loosely enforced.  The use of certain a herb is pretty much overlooked by all law enforcement.  Therefore, you can go to any cafe or restaurant in town and enjoy a smoke along with your tea or meal.  After visiting a few cafes, we drove about 25 minutes out of town to a waterfall nestled in the rainforest.  Luck has it my camera starts to lose battery once we get there, so no real pictures of the waterfall or rainforest (except blurred shots).  I left with a friend in my shoe/attached to my foot, I called him Mr. Leach.  But, the ride there was full of some of the most beautiful landscapes I've seen to date.  Rolling hills covered with fog and big expanses devoted to farms.  Not to mention that around every corner there was a kangaroo on the side of the road.  It was a great trip. We lost some brain cells, but gained some knowledge.
