Jim's Alternative Tours

Jim's Alternative Tours will take you for a day tour to Nimbin, a town renowned for its hippie past and counter culture lifestyle.

It would have to be the most colourful village in Australia, with its murals, street cafes, alternative lifestyles and stunning scenery. In fact, Nimbin is the only community in which the counter culture is the dominant culture. If you’re visiting in September then you can see the Spring Arts Festival, or in May you can join in the annual Mardi Grass festival. The Grass festival celebrates the joys of cannabis with the Hemp Olympics judging the fastest and most artistic joint rolling. Take a Day trip there with Jim’s Alternative Tours.

The tour will tell you about the history, take you to a waterfall, world heritage forest, a country pub and local hippie identity Paul Recher's place.  Commentary on the bus will give the low down on what makes the Nimbin community so different to the rest of Australia.
