Nimbin Australia events, art, music, accommodation and alternative lifestyle Community Directory.
Description
A picturesque village situated on the North East Coast of the state of N.S.W., Australia, on the Eastern edge of the Caldera of an extinct volcano, Nimbin has a subtropical climate, creeks and waterfalls, rolling forested hills, abundant wildlife and stunning views.
Often called the Alternative Capital of Australia, Nimbin has a large population of people looking for sustainable alternatives to the current economic system. This unique population mushroomed from the Aquarius alternative lifestyle festival held in Nimbin in 1973.
Originally a dairy town, with the demise of the dairy industry in the 1970's land was cheap and groups of enterprising people bought land co-operatively and formed "communities". There are hundreds of communities in and around Nimbin, ranging from two or three friends to 1000acre blocks with over 300 members. Some of the communities have their own schools and shops.
