A Little Town Called Nimbin....

Nimbin was quite the interesting town. Nimbin is know for it's alternative lifestyle. Many hippies call Nimbin home and a good majority of them smoke pot. When you are walking the streets of Nimbin you get asked if you want to buy cookies (which have pot in them) and you see lots of people smoking outside their stores. Although marijuana is still illegial in Nimbin, police have come to accept the fact that they can't take over the entire town of hippies and stop them from smoking or doing other illegial stuff. Thus, Nimbin continues to bring in tourists who want a taste of an alternative society. The entire experience was a culture shock for me!


Welcome to Nimbin!




Our wonderful bus.......Jim's Alternative Tours!




Downtown Nimbin!




Our favorite hippie!




Australia and the USA Flag......Resident of Nimbin strongly dislike America (and our current president) so I thought this would be an appropriate picture to end my Nimbin post with!
