Alternative lifestyle capital - Nimbin
Tucked away in the hills west of Byron Bay, Nimbin was once a sleepy little dairying village in a lush setting of farmland and forest. Today, Nimbin is known the world over as Australia’s most famous hippie destination and alternative lifestyle capital.
Nimbin shot to fame when it hosted the 1973 Aquarius Festival, attracting students, hippies and visionaries from all over Australia. Once the bands left and the dust settled, a few intrepid souls stayed on to live the dreams and ideology of Aquarius and sow the seeds for today’s vibrant, sustainable community.
This internationally famous village is intriguing and quirky with its unique mural streetscape of indigenous, rainforest and psychedelic facades and colourful local characters.
With an amazing array of cafés and shops the village also features fascinating places like Djanbung Permaculture Gardens, Rainbow Power Company and the extraordinary Nimbin Candle Factory.
Surrounded by three World Heritage Listed rainforests, including Protester Falls the site of Australia’s first successful anti-logging campaign. The 1979 campaign, known as the Terania Creek Battle, lasted 4 weeks and assured the survival of NSW’s rainforests today.
Nimbin is the perfect place to rest a while, to relax, rejuvenate and let Mother Nature work her charms. You can stay in luxurious cabins on the edge of the rainforest, in a B&B or backpackers, or perhaps in a teepee with mountain view.
May the long time sun shine upon you, all love surround you, and the pure light within you, guide your way home.
- excerpt from the original song by the Incredible String Band - adopted anthem of the 1973 Aquarius Festival.

Down To The Forest Paul Joseph Live in Nimbin
This is taken from the live video stream that was sent out to the world from Paul Joseph's final concert. This is a rough mix I threw together from files captured by Doug Kelly so Paul could see a bit of the concert with reasonably good sound. Stuart Batten has since then created some really awesome mixes that I am sure will be heard out in the World soon. This is put up as a commemoration on the Eve of my dear friends funeral Gathering. One last moment together brother. SAFE PATHS UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.

Nimbin Good Times - Nimbin Aquarius Festival 1973
Rare colour film footage of Australia's Nimbin Aquarius Festival, the historic event organized by the Australian Union of Students in 1973.
The majority of the images cover only the lead-in period for the festival on the days immediately prior to its official commencement on May 12th. Attendance over the festival period itself was estimated at anywhere from 5,000 to 15,000 people.
To this day the festival is remembered as a cultural milestone, because of the way it first celebrated at a national level the emerging alternative thinking and sustainable lifestyles of the sixties and seventies, that have since come to influence this nation for the better.
The filming aimed to capture something of the mood of the times, including the relaxed pace of counter-cultural life back then and the creativity and shared values expressed. The poster art included is also from the event
Live sounds captured on the festival site during filming included the early morning crowing of roosters and the spontaneous guitar playing of a nearby campsite resident. The soundtrack originally added reflects the best music of the era. And its remarkable quality and timelessness is now even more apparent.
The second half also includes a vignette of farm life at the time. The local dairy farms were already suffering from economic decline. And the video concludes with a brief set of images from Nimbin and the Rainbow Region as seen 35 years later.
The small rural township of Nimbin (NSW) is located just inland from Byron Bay on the Pacific Ocean, right on the perimeter of the now extinct Wollumbin/Mt Warning shield volcano and its stunning World Heritage listed national parks, rainforests, rivers and waterfalls. It is an area of enormous biodiversity, containing many rare wildlife species.
The filmmaker had only taken 4 rolls of super 8mm film with him at the time, limiting the scope of what was shot to what you see. (Four rolls of this filmstock permitted a maximum of 12 minutes of footage, so every foot counted.)
These truly were the 'Nimbin good times'.
