The countryside is lovely. Avoid all that hippie crap. Come here if you want to buy drugs and even take them without hassle from the law. It is a little dirty and there are a lot of wrecks and cliched hippies. Nimbin isn't so relaxed -- there are casualties and really dodgy people everywhere but some nice people too. You can get anything here -- weed, hash cakes, ecstasy, mescalin, mushrooms (better fresh), acid, crack. See why it's good not to stay too long.

Nimbin is a mad place. I reckon everyone should go there. There are heaps of scammers and druggies but that's how it is everywhere. All in all it was really fun.

I was in Nimbin for a week and found it to be a really out there place. If you love your herb, you will love Nimbin and it will love you. Chill and rest your mind, body, and soul.

I ended up staying in Nimbin for many months at a time. It's a wonderful place to go and be, just don't take any 'agendas and judgements' with you and you'll have a ball, be open to life's many opportunities. Many good bands/music can be found up here too and the countryside is amazing. It's set between many National Parks, go on -- be free!

Nimbin is quite a fun filled place to take your kids for a little family time. We had heaps of fun with the ultra radical leftists and stoners!

The town is funky and the area is beautiful, but it made me sad to see such a waste of life. The streets of Nimbin are not always peace, love and brown rice -- watch the scammers.

Ninmbin is a fantastic place, take a look at the streets and what they have to offer. Market on Saturdays are great as well. Go with an open mind.

Comment by Singkong

It's a beautiful area, and very laidback, and you'll meet backpackers from around the world. And the small town has a strong sense of community. There's a lot of drug users though (mostly marijuana).

This place is a waste of time. Full of stoners and ultra radical greenies.

Nimbin is disgusting. Don't even bother coming here. There are far better places to visit in the region.
