Default Nimbin

Anyone been there recently?

I went about 7 years ago and the whole place just made me laugh my head off.

Has it changed, have the police clamped down or is it still the same?

NSW, inland from Byron Bay.

It's the 'alternative' centre of Australia.

Sounds like our kind of place. We did mean to get down to Byron Bay on our last visit but having 2 kids in tow takes the edge off it, maybe in a few years.

hi paul
i was there in 2001 and happened to be there at the time of the yearly Mardigrass festival. Very funny experience, especially watching the Hemp Olympix Games!!! there is even a web site www.nimbinmardigrass.com
i was amazed how the cops were just wandering about without a care in the world!

There's a lot of w*nkers there. If people who live off the dole in the UK wind you up, then Nimbin is going to send you over the top, because it's Aussie dole blugger central.
