Sydney / Nimbin & the Northern Rivers
Sydney
Nimbin & the Northern Rivers
Nimbin is tiny: nightlife here means the pub, the odd big night at the Bush Theatre, and a drive (with a designated driver) to Lismore or a country pub for anything later. There are no cabs to flag down out here, so plan your ride home before you start.
