Nimbin, where hippies come from. actually.

Travelling about 1.5 hours into the hills from Byron gets you to Nimbin. Nimbin is a one street town known for easy access to pot, mushrooms and the like. To get the full story two dollars gives you entry to the Nimbin Museum.  A walk through the cluttered house come attraction gives the guest a good idea about Nimbin in regard to its agricultural beginnings, its laid back attitude, creative leanings and drugs and love hippie history. We spent a wicked afternoon chilling out, eating pizza, taking photos and looking in the eclectic shops. 
We (elliot really) even helped some old hippies plant a palm tree aiding in their effort to protect their spot from the newly installed police cams. 
Did I mention.... YAY! Elliot was here!
