Nimbin Tour

The main attraction of the tour Nimbin village. We give you two hours to experience the buzz of Nimbin.
Why is Nimbin special?
After the logging, dairying became main form of farming (exporting butter to Sydney) but in 1960’s economic factors combined (margarine gaining popularity, dairying closer to Sydney receiving subsidies) causing the nimbin dairy industry to collapse
By the early 70’s the farmers left to find employment elsewhere leaving nimbin virtually abandoned .
In early1970’s large anti-war protests in the uni’s of Sydney and Canberra  due to our involvement in the Vietnam conflict. these people also wanted to eat lentils and mung beans,  live in communes, practice free loving, and experiment withal sorts of mind altering substances.
In 1973 they headed north to try to live this out, tried to settle at Mullumbimby but were forced to move on, heard of nimbin being abandoned and held the first aquarius festival early in ’73.
