Nimbin the hippy central

We decided to take a trip a little inland to see some more sights
Our destination ... Nimbin
Bellow is a picture of Nimbin rocks 
that poke out from a mass of trees



Nimbin lies in a valley where in 1973 the Aquarius festival was held
After the event a few hard core hippys decided to buy some land
This was the first stage of Nimbin becoming the Hippy center



Its a really colorful town
with every other person saying Hi
 and then asking if you would like to buy some weed! 
We didnt even make it out of the car park without being asked 



Even the local transport is plastered with rainbow colors
The Happy Coach



The town was not shy about advertising the local produce 
(Marijuana is still illegal in Australia)
It was an interesting experience
an insight in to what it was like in the 70's
