Introduction

Nimbin, a small town in the Northern Rivers area, is about 750 kilometers from Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, about a 65-kilometer drive from Byron Bay, a well-known resort town, about 1,500 people.

Nimbin及周边地区是邦加隆原住民(Bundjalung)的世居之地,在1840年前,这里全部被茂密的森林所覆盖,但欧洲殖民者带来了伐木业,当地森林几乎在十九世纪末被砍乏殆尽,1903年后这里又兴起奶酪和香蕉产业,但好景不长,在六十年代因为经济大萧条,进入长期衰退期,一直到七十年代初,居民纷纷离开这里,常住人口从六千多人降至数百人,宛如一座死城。

时间到了1973年,一大群大学生、非主流生活的实践者、嬉皮人士藉由参加当地举办的一个名为宝瓶座节(Aquarius Festival)的节日来到这里,之后部分人留了下来并在Nimbin置业安家,形成了一个300多人,紧密、相互包容的社群,希望寻找非主流的生活型态,并和当地原住民建立了非常良好的关系;而之后的数十年里,Nimbin更是吸引众多作家、艺术家、音乐家、环保人士,以及想要远离城市生活的年轻家庭前来,造就了今天的充满性格的Nimbin。

Today's Nimbin, known as Australia's drug capital, (The Drug Capital of Australia), is usually not known and visited by many tourists except Australians. Smoking and growing marijuana is illegal in Australia, but in Nimbin, it is in fact an out-of-law land. In the streets of Nimbin, cigarettes are not smelled, only marijuana is smelled; and any resident of the town can easily buy marijuana; Residents here do not think it is wrong to smoke marijuana, but treat it as a necessity of life and even worship it spiritually.
