Sunday Drive - Nimbin

I've never been to Nimbin, so wanted to see it for myself.  Well, it's definitely different.  Quite low tech and kind of non-touristy for a place that attracts a lot of tourists.  The Museum reminded me of highway-side attractions from my youth - simple and unsophisticated, kind of funny, and kind of weird, but a testament to someone's passion.  After a gold coin donation, you get to wander through a few rooms of all sorts of stuff like bits of Kombi vans
re-worked masterpieces
and lots of statements, slogans, and stories in support of the cause, the vision.
The outside of the shops were decorated with bright colours and alternative themes.
