Log 21-03 Casino & Nimbin

Friday: Walked around the complex again today, this time armed with information about the place. The cottages vary in size from 60 square metres to 180 square metres from basic to luxury. Spent the morning (still wet) walking & looking. After lunch walked into town, about 1.5 k’s, walked all over town , then back to the village. Missed happy hour.
It’s rained most of the time for the 4 days we’ve been here, keen to get back on the road. This morning we set off for Nimbin drizzled all the way but cleared up when we arrived. Nimbin shopping centre was a buzz of activity. Lots of people, very colourful, crazy shop signs, we spent several hours just people watching. We went into an art center & this well dressed, mature lady sitting behind a desk asked if she could help us, as she came round the desk we saw that together with the smart blouse she was wearing, she also had on the daggiest pair of cargo pants you ever saw & one pink & one blue shoe??? Sitting & watching we realized that all the locals varied from slim to skinny. No obesity here. Nimbin has a population of 300 & 9 police looking after them. It’s been a very interesting day.
