Nimbin

I had a problem categorizing Nimbin for this entry. Is it an amusement park? Enough "amusement" here! Local market? Well, yeah you can buy your "stuff" here. Other family fun? Kind of illegal family fun. Great outdoors? Sure! Local celebration? Every day!

In case you are puzzled, this small town, 75km west of Byron Bay, is the hippie capital of Australia. There are nice colourful buildings with hippie paintings in the village's only street, some national parks in the area with nice rocks, forests, etc., but virtually the only reason people come here is weed, grass, pot, dope, and the like. Of course, there is the cannabis museum, but for the real merchandise, just walk around and the "locals" will find you.

It is the only place were these things are done so openly, without local or state authorities seeming to care. I guess they turn a blind eye to it to attract tourist money to the region. Those dirty hippiecrites!
