AUSTRALIA - Nimbin (10)

rain

25/2/06 - Planned to do some surfing today but rained quite heavy all day. So instead left Bryon Bay and headed to Nimbin around an hour inland from Bryon. Nimbin is a very strange place!Its a hippy town stuck in a 1970's time warp! All the shops are painted in bold bright colours and in almost every shop you can buy weed and hash cakes. The people in Nimbin are quite strange because its the only place in Australia you can smoke drugs and the police turn a blind eye even tho its illegal. We went to the nimbin museum which was very weird, it was kind a like a junk shop and just had so many wierd things in it. As soon as we arrived at Nimbin we had people come up to the van and ask if we want any drugs and throughout the whole time we were there. They have a few cafes which you can smoke in and quite a few souvernoir shops. It was a really funny place to visit but we didnt stay to long around an hour then left for Coffs Harbour.
