Nimbin?

Posted by Ludicrousity at 10:43 am

Well I have an opportunity to go up to Nimbin for a month or so to take over a Christian radio show on a Sunday morning. The lady who does it wants a holiday and needs someone to take her place. So seeing as I worked as a radio announcer for 2 years, I might go up there on my holidays and run her show while she goes away. It's kind of exciting. Nimbin is a VERY alternative community, and I'm quite excited about their live music scene. I'm still not sure I'll go, and I don't really want to go by myself, so if anyone wants to go with me, please let me know! It might be for most of the month of July, or just before. Which is soon I know. I think it'll be an adventure anyway! I'll keep you posted on what I decide.

By the way, in case you have no idea where it is. It's in northern NSW. Here is a map. You might want to zoom out to see where it is in relation to the rest of Australia.

EDIT:
I should have included:
CARN THE SOCCEROOS!!!!
I only saw the last 15 minutes of the game last night, but they were by far the best 15 minutes of the game! Yay for Cahill! GO AUSSIE GO!

    Sounds like a decent opportunity, though. If I lived in Oz, I'd go with you!

    I love lamp.

    I wouldn’t mind tagging along, I have a long lost friend is Lismore I'd like to track down and according to that map, it's only a 1.5cm away. But I don't think I'd be able to go in the time you're going, our uni holidays don't correspond very well

    Nimbin is a mad town. Mad. And scary. Very scary. I'll be impressed if you last more than a day or so. Chrystal and I lasted less than 5 mins, and were offered drugs twice after we had walked less than 10 steps into the town. Scary people.

    Then again, you're pretty scary yourself, and on the drug side of things...

    What was scarey apart from being offered drugs? I'm expecting to be offered drugs.

    I pioneered a church plant in Nimbin in 1986, whcih later "morphed" into the Lismore Wesleyan Methodist Church. We held Sunday services in the public hall on the main street, held midweek Bible Studies, did street evangelism and visited out on the communes. It was pretty wild stuff and a real learning curve.
