The Nimbin Area

About the Nimbin Area

Nimbin was a small dairy town which boomed in 1973 after the Aquarius Festival.

The Festival changed the face of Nimbin completely. Many people stayed on and others moved into the area. The town and surrounds is now home to several thousand people.

The art and craft scene is very well established and Nimbin is well known for it's extraordinary display of paintings and crafts.

You will be amazed by the colourful township, with many buildings painted, as well as woodcarvings and sculptures.

The area has its own museum telling the history of the area, as well as the popular Djanbung Gardens and the Hemp Embassy as well as other attractions.

Festivals and nightlife should not be missed in Nimbin as it is always a night to remember, food and accommodation are good too.

Byron is a great place from which to get to Nimbin, with daily shuttle buses running
