Known the world over as the spiritual home of Aquarius, Nimbin (30km
North of Lismore) is a blend of hippie counter-culture, artists’ community
and cottage industries, in a backdrop of farmland and forest.
Nimbin was the site of the 1973 Aquarius festival and, in the 33 years
since, has become an icon in Australia’s cultural history.
This internationally famous village is vibrant and colourful with its
unique mural streetscape of indigenous, rainforest and psychedelic facades.
Take a break from the everyday and experience Nimbin, a community renowned
for its imaginative thinking, stunning scenery and alternative lifestyle.
With an amazing array of cafés and shops, and the extraordinary
Nimbin Museum, the village also features fascinating places like Djanbung
Gardens and the Rainbow Power Company.
Nimbin has some wonderful accommodation options. You can stay in luxurious
cabins on the edge of the rainforest, in a B&B or backpackers, or
perhaps in a tepee by the creek.
