(0 votes)

A seemingly lawless town with regard to anti-cannabis legislation has long been a popular stop off for tourist. You could say, it has a bit in common with the "coffee shops" in Amsterdam, except there is not much else here apart from a few bars, arts, craft style shops and the Nimbin Museum.

 

The museum itself can be a good laugh and there is a message and theme, as you walk through the different rooms, representing different eras in the Nimbin area, which is not so obvious.

 

Surrounding Nimbin, there are amazing landscapes and natural beauty, if you grab a local map when you arrive, you will be able to discover some great swimming holes and rivers, as well as some spectacular walking tracks.

 

Many of the cafe's offer smoking device and utensils as well as selling the products, so beware of sellers on the street, as they can charge a higher price or offer a less quality product and may also be pushing a harder substance. The cafes also offer some great tasting food and drinks with a lot of it organic.

 

There are tours available, but Nimbin is small enough to drive to and explore either on your own or with friends. You will always meet someone to talk to or hang with.
