Nimbin

Just to fill you in on the Nimbin visit. We spoke to someone who had been to Nimbin in 1976, same year as hubby visited and this guy decided to come back and live there. He now has a organic grocery store.

It is not a very big place but tourists still flock to it and we could see tourists from many different countries.  I guess it is due to the fact that it seems like any other little country town, with a post office and police station and a school, nothing  shocking really but it still has this little "forbidden" air to it. It's a step back in time and very laid back, maybe for obvious reasons.

Here is the big joint that I promised last time I wrote. This is hanging in the Hemp Embassy and you can buy all sorts of other paraphernalia there related to marijuana. For example a hemp coffin, which is much cheaper than ordinary coffins and biodegradable. You can also buy hemp undies and hats etc, all byproducts of the hemp.

As you can see the work ethics are pretty relaxed

We also drove up to the rainforest (in the rain) and it is very beautiful. Unfortunately it rained pretty heavily when  we were up there so no photos I am afraid.

The next day we went to Byron Bay, which was really nice. We also visited the national park with the most eastern point in Australia.

Then we had a swim in this beautiful bay with clean, clear water and gentle waves, heaven!!!
