Nimbin, known as the drug capital of Australia or a social experiment this place is just what you the locals tell you it is. You can catch a “magic bus” tour to the city from Byron Bay for just about $35 which also passes by some really nice waterfalls which you can bathe in the summer and some local craft markets for shopping. As soon as you get there the locals will offer you “cookies” which you can take at your own discretion. Cannabis is also sold in the streets as well as other drugs but it is still considered illegal even though it is just looked over by the local authorities. The whole town is pretty much composed of stores which sell and promote their counterculture things like Bob Marley and Rasta clothing as well as bongs, pipes, lighters etc.. Its as like you took a little Amsterdam and dropped it in on the east coast of Australia. The Nimbin Museum is also popular and has a lot of the town’s history.
