The Rainbow Cafe: A Cutural initiation
Intrepidduck Says: One hasn't been to Nimbin if they haven't ventured inside the Rainbow Cafe. This establishment has been running on and off for the past 25 years or so and is one of the village's social hubs. Here, while illegal in Australia, the discreet partaking in the smoking of cannabis...
This is a tour going from Byron Bay to Nimbin and back. The tour operator plays music that goes with the landscape you're driving thru. So when the road is making a lot of twists and you're going up and downhill a lot, you get a really exciting tune. The tour operator also tells you funny stories about the stoned people he brings back from Nimbin. It's a great tour to go on.

Helpfulness
Many of the shops along the main street retail locally made arts and crafts, locally grown products including fruit and vegetables and many other local items. It is a great way to amuse yourself for an hour or so. You can also find some excellent Aboriginal paintings by local artists.
