Nimbin Mardi Grass

The town of Nimbin, nestled in the sub-tropical foothills of the eastern edge of an extinct volcano in the rainbow region of Northern NSW, is known as the 'Alternative Capital of Australia'. Every year it holds the Mardi Grass festival a celebration of smoking the deadly weed. 

Nimbin provides an example to the world of how communities working together can find creative, sustainable solutions to the many environmental and socio-economic dilemmas facing us all as we plunge into the new millennium.

All creeds and all Nations are welcome in Nimbin, a highly tolerant town  whose rich multicultural diversity is reflected in the works of our large community of talented Artists and Musicians.

Alternative - land sharing, healing, education, housing and power, cafes, markets and festivals, forests, mountain views, great music and Art are just some of what Nimbin has to offer.
