The village of Nimbin
The famous village of Nimbin is known as the ‘Amsterdam of Australia’. You’ll feel like you’re in another world: the rainbow-coloured houses and buildings will seduce you. There are many souvenir shops and hippie clothing shops a bit everywhere.
The village of Bungalow
The village of Bungalow is popular with locals for its cafes and restaurants. The shops are rather vintage: fashion, home decoration, antiques, souvenirs and art. We strongly recommend that you try the local coffee and cuisine in Bungalow.
The village of Mullumbimby
The village of Mullumbimby, with its many palm trees and great architecture, is very similar to a coastal town. Mullumbimby has one of the three best markets in Australia: the Farmers Market, where farmers offer their local produce.
