Nimbin Australia is a village which, although not perfect,
is still the place in our global search to call home. It is a
place where the rain forest thrives and the hippie culture
is still alive. A place of sustainability, small town feeling,
Mardi Grass celebrations as well as artistic, cultural,political
and environmental awareness and activism. An excellent
and inexpensive guide to many of the sides on Nimbin is
the recent edition of Nimbin and Environs #6. Although
the website does not give it full justice, I would recommend
your ordering a copy. Send me an address to mail it to
which would be a total cost of USD $12 and will also
include a complimentary copy of the latest and always
colorful Nimbin News magazine. Payment can be through
paypal by going to the "donate" button on top right side
of my ''links by george'' blog. And of course, it you wish
to add any extra donation for keeping this newsletter going,
it would be gratefully accepted.
