The Nimbin Experience
This is a top pick! ... place where you're least likely to remember your day is Nimbin. A couple hours from Byron Bay, Nimbin isn't as many people think the one place in Australia where marijuana has been decriminalized. It's just that people tend to look the other way there ...
DUDE!!!!!!!

Gardens of Eden
This is a top pick! I decided to take "Jims tour" and went to Nimbin today. It was quite different but in a good way. The musuem was something else. I think it would take a long time to really go through the whole thing terrifyingly dazzling. The gorgeous scenery racing past ...
Back to Surfers Paradise

Surfer's Paradise
This is a top pick! ... cut out and shipped over and plonked here. It's very "plastic fantastic" and very tacky to be honest - it just doesn't suit Australia. This is a place were you have to be body beautiful (I'm OK there then!, JOKE), wearing plenty of Ripcurl or Billabong ...
Nimbin and a Bush walk!
... Bay, so in the morning we book ourselves onto a bus to go and visit a famous tiny town nearby called Nimbin. Nimbin is said to be the Amsterdam of Australia. I forget my camera in the room, after spending about 5 mins making sure it was fully charged and ...

Tuntable Falls
I don't know if I slept at all, Max was snoring away so I know he did, but I was worried about the mold. Megan took us down the road on a ricketty old truck and had us shovel dirt to fix the road. It was hard, but it took my mind off of ...

Hazy Notes from Nimbin
... bond over Tim Tams and Nimbin, not necessarily in that order. Every conversation either starts this way or it deteriorates to it. Nimbin is indeed notorious. Everyone who tells you the origins of the Shire, not town, tells it just a little differently. ...
Cookies
