Freakin Nimbin and the Magic Bus

An explosion of art, jewelry, tie die clothes and all things hippie... AWESOME!

NImbin is a inland from Byron Bay by about an hour with a population of about 500. Me and Ken had chosen a sunny Sunday to go. Our choice of transport: The grasshopper bus.

We were up with plenty of time to spare before the bus came to pic us up from the Backpackers Inn in Byron, so we hung around reading in the hammocks for a while before stuffing our bags and jumping on the bus. Plenty of good tunes were blasting out as we tore up and down the hilly 'country side' of Oz.

As soon as we got there we had a little pep talk from the driver about hippie associated bargains. As it was Sunday there was a market on, which me and Ken spent a while browsing before hitting the cafes and shops on the main street for other deals some hidden away from sight. I snapped up a Gecko pendant and an Indonesian hand crafted bone carved necklace for my bros 18th birthday. :c)

Ken and me in Nimbin!

After a few afternoon beers and snacks it all started to become a little hazy. As it was OZ a BBQ was included in the trip and a laze down by an amazing river in a valley... somewhere. Next was a rock pool for water based frolickings. We arrived home in the late afternoon and cooked pasta before hitting the sack.. the day had taken it out of us!

Awesome fun there and would recommend crashing there for a few days...
