I would say that Nimbin is like the Australian Amsterdam. In 1973, university students, hippies and people seeking an alternative lifestyle gathered in this village to celebrate the Aquarius Festival. And afterwards, you can imagine the rest of the story...Some participants decided to stay and live alternatively in communities, establishing the culture of cannabis at the same time. Inspite of the fact that the sale and consumption of weed is illegal in the state of NSW, this place seems to evade all attempts made by police to eradicate the drug trade. The last action taken by the law was to place cameras in the streets, so now sales are made within the village museum.
