gr0wm3 and Kangativa pretty much summed it up, there are lots of other great places and festivals along the east coast worth the trip, but if you are close check it out for a day and experience it for yourself. It is hard not to get ripped off there but I guess its part of the experience.

Hope you enjoy your trip!!

Ole Sinbin is worth a look just don't get conned into handing over your cash for what you cant see.as stated by others the NSW North East coast is a great place to travel to it's such a diverse area with so many different things to see and do.Nimbin was a great place 20 to 30 years ago a bit ho hum now.

I hated Nimbin... the locals were mainly pure trash... I seen some of he dirtiest nastiest sights ever in Nimbin, with young kids about... it was disgusting... The best thing in Nimbin was Rolf Harris's painting on the wall... leg end :O)
Get your Budz & get out...
We travelled all over Oz, going back & forth to Nimbin ever cpl weeks to top up...
We always stopped off at the famous rocks for a good dip... & we loved going back to Murwillumbah for a few drinks in our crazy ass bar... Tuesdays: topless waitresses all day long & bonkers drunk driving locals... good times.
You can get a bus once a day to Nimbin from Murwillumbah, make sure you don't miss it, otherwise you will end up in the same crazy bar we ended up in.... we nicknamed it 'Dusk till dawn'... had many a fukkd up day/night there...
Otherwise, get your weed & head to Byron... try to stay at The Happy House if it's still open, 'an illegal hippy retreat' you can smoke all day long, indoors & out, & get pretty much any high you want from the owner! & smoke up on the beach all day long... perfect.

I went there about 10 years ago; I found it pretty sad. Lots of drug fucked people just sitting around. Lots of powders being sold on the street.
A few days before I got there the powder sellers ran amok and smashed up the iconic Rainbow Cafe and a few other nearby businesses, so I never got to go the the famous rainbow cafe. I didn't need to buy because I came well prepared, but I would say some of the businesses there sell and would give a better deal than the street sellers.
I don't remember ever seing anyone there smile or look happy, except maybe the guy in the hemp embassy; I think his name might be Joe Cannabis.

nimbin is pretty average imo. not like it once was by a far stretch and with cameras on all the roads in and out. just doesn't feel like a nice place these days...

haven't been there, but the campground (and a hotel?) are ascribed to freemasonry, which is pretty much like "this party place run by child molesters".

spend there around a week 2 yrs ago in a yha hostel i think. it was around 20mins by walk outside of town. was a nice place to chill out in the jungle and a good place to relax after fcking crowded eastcoast with all that stupid backpack fuckers.
nice to go there if u are already around but not worth a long journey.

had some cookies and a smoke and was almost freakin out in the jungle. went to bed at around 9pm because it was too much lol
