Once a dying dairy village, Nimbin was revived in 1973 by the Aquarius Festival. This event attracted a new wave of settlers known as hippies, who brought with them environmentally friendly businesses, cottage arts and crafts, and alternative ways of living, such as communes. In a groundbreaking move, these communes were officially recognized and granted their own title in law, known as Multiple Occupancy, making Nimbin the first village in New South Wales to achieve this status. Today, Nimbin stands as a vibrant center of alternative lifestyle and culture, closely connected to sister cities like Woodstock in the USA and Freetown Christiania in Denmark. Embracing its alternative, hippie image, the village is a haven for tourists, particularly those interested in eco-tourism. Explore the unique shops and cafes that capture the essence of Nimbin's alternative spirit. Sadly, a devastating fire in August 2014 destroyed the museum and several notable businesses, including 'Bringabong' and the Rainbow Cafe. However, resilient as ever, Bringabong has reopened at its new location, the former Bush Theatre, alongside the newly established 'Phoenix Rising' cafe.
