Nimbin
Tucked away in the hills west of Byron Bay, Nimbin was once a sleepy little dairying village in a lush setting of farmland and forest. Today, Nimbin is known the world over as Australia’s most famous hippie destination and alternative lifestyle capital.
Nimbin shot to fame when it hosted the 1973 Aquarius Festival, attracting students, and hippies from all over Australia. Once the bands left and the dust settled, a few people stayed on to live the dreams and ideology of Aquarius.
