Hmm - Folk havde fortalt os om en lille, sjov hippieby oppe nordpaa. Efter Coffs Harbour tog vi den direkte vej dertil en sen aften. Selvom det var moerkt og forladt da vi kom, skimtede vi tydeligt de overbemalede facader langs hovedgaden: Flower power og den slags. Men byen var naermest oede for folk, saa vi plantede bilen og sov.

Dagen efter var der liv og gang i den. Turister kom koerende fra de naerliggende byer i shuttlebusses for at faa et glimt af herligheden. Ja - det er ingen hemmelighed: Varemaerket i byen var en groen plante med fem fingre. Fri hash og glade dage. Det var som at rulle ind paa Christianias hovedgade, da der stadig var liv.

Der blev solgt lidt af hvert fra gaden, selv hjemmebagte 'kager'. Rigtig hyggeligt. Vi foelte bare der manglede et bedre politisk budskab end "fri hash" ...

Byen har dog en historie: En flok hippier tog til omraadet engang i halvfjerdserne for at lave naturbevaring! Og den omkringliggende natur er virkelig fantastisk. Der er velbevaret regnskov, udbraendte vulkaner som nu er bjerge og de smukkeste vandfald. Rasmus og jeg besteg Mount Warning, men da vi naaede toppen havde taagen lagt sig tykt omkring os. Saa vi saa ingenting derfra :-(

Og saa er der ellers andre tilfaeldige groenne omraader... "Let it grow' Men - det er virkelig i Nimbins omegn! Hippierne holdt en festival, og havde ingen lyst til at forlade stedet derefter - det blev starten paa Nimbin. Og festivallen finder stadig sted, og vi kunne ikke undgaa den. Den skulle afholdes knap 2 uger efter vi var i byen foerste gang.

Vi tog til Byron Bay i mellemtiden!
