Nimbin Hippie Haven in Oz

3.10.08 Byron.Nimbin

I left this morning and took a bus over to the town Of Nimbin...a little hippie town in the hills. I took the Happy Coach...we stopped on the way at Minyon Falls..up Mt Warning and on the remnants of a volcano crater rim, the falls crash down...

The old logging road is rough in the bus...on we go..

Nimbin is a cute little town..all the hippie and pot friendly it is cracked up to be....fun place to hand for a couple hours...left for the ride back to Byron..get home and decide to head down to the beach to watch the sunset. It is so peaceful at the beach..there are tons of people around and yet it feels like you are all alone..

The surfer's are out in droves...waves are good and really big!!!! I watch and take pictures and look for Steve in the waves...but then he calls...he shows up a few minutes later and we hand and watch the sun go down, creating a sky full of reds, oranges and then pinks...so beautiful...a drum circle has started behind us and the beat is lulling me into a trance, then the guy starts rapping about the waves...waves...waves, crashing waves...etc...we thought we would never get it out of our minds...it is still in mine...

Took off from the beach and to a place Steve likes for dinner and had some curry, it was a great little place...yum...then onto Railz to see who is playing tonight...some solo chick, a bit disappointing...we head to catch a movie instead and just hang out...

Sadly we have to leave Byron at 3pm today..... Russ and I head to the Balcony Bar for our farewell brekkie...The place is very cool, upstairs with a funky feel and great decor..overlooking the main street and roundabout, we lounged on couches and had a great meal. Ran around town for a last shop and feel...tried to fit in a last minute facial, but went for lunch instead ans Steve met us to say goodbye...it was so great to meet him and get to spend some days together and have him show us around his great town!!!! Loved it...
