Nimbin

Nimbin is a small village where you can buy hemp on the streets. Nimbin is a synonym for the fight to legalization the cannabis. It started in the 60’s where the people looked for a place to organize an anti-war festival.

The day after, the other thousands of people went to the police station and disrobe this two guys. (there are only two policemen in Nimbin…).

The tour took as in about one hour to Nimbin, we spend there 90 minutes, that’s more than you need to see the village, including all hemp shops, the hemp museum and the cafes.

After the Aussi BBQ we went back to Byron Bay and I hope now, that my Skydive tomorrow will work…
