Nimbin

Mainstreet NimbinGive a hippys trash, and you get this Today was spent In Nimbin a local market and the National park; throught a small tour company. Travelling through Lismore, which has the lowest income of OZ, gets upto 40c in the summer and floods regularly (full of lesbians too). Ninbin is a hippy retreat that took off in the 73 after the Age of Aquarius Festival; the local population fled for better work. To be honest it's dropout central, with a laid back attitude; though it's been getting violent of late. The museum is a better classed as a curiosity shop, with plenty of protest graffiti.

where the waterNext was the market, and into the a national park for a Barbie. Then a walk to waterfall, or more accurately a waterless fall. The area is covered in Tea tree's all with a lovely smell, however the best was the Lemon Scented Tea Tree; think sherbet lemons.After that koala spotting, the first couple of spots where barren, eventually we got our wild koala, and even saw a wallaby.
