Today's Journey
 |
Rain falls overnight, and continues falling into the morning as I explore the very quaint Nimbin village. |
 |
There are lots of shops selling all sorts of crafts from the locals who live on their lifestyle blocks hidden in the surrounding misty hills. |
 |
The rain continues falling as I continue exploring th edifferent shops and museums in the town. There is even one museum dedicated to drug use, which is obviously a big thing around here. |
 |
With a break in the weather, I follow the path along the swollen Mulgum Creek exploring the lush green countryside. |
 |
I discover an old factory now painted in bright colours with its own waxworks inside creating all sorts of brightly coloured candles. |
 |
Returning towards the town centre, I pass a stall sheltering from the rain under a tarp. |
 |
Returning to the town, everything is so brightly coloured here cheering up this otherwise dull grey rainy day. |
 |
From Nimbin I head out over Mount Burrell into the large crater of the Tweed Volcano. Thick mist envelopes the slopes of the extinct volcano. |
 |
The highway descends into the crater and makes its way down the Tweed River to my base for the next couple of days in Murwillumbah. |
 |
The rain clears as I explore Murwillumbah Village revealing the striking peak of Mount Warning at the centre of the volcano. |
