Wildlife abounds with regular visits from wallabies, echidnas, bandicoots, a plethora of birds and other native fauna on this private site; in a wildlife sanctuary situated on a permaculture hamlet in sustainable Nimbin. Town is walking distance through a rainforest walking track (approx 1km).

Known for it's "alternative lifestyle" Nimbin boasts multiple communities living as close to nature with minimal impact. Our modern self-contained caravan is solar-powered with rainwater tanks in keeping with Nimbin's sustainable ethic. This is the epitome of a haven; tranquil yet close to the action in town.

The first weekend in May is the annual Mardi Grass "Protestival"; a protest against the unfair cannabis laws. September sees the annual Poetry Performance World Cup run across 3 days as well as the Nimbin Agricultural Show. The Nimbin Roots Festival in October boasts a host of Australian musical acts.

The Permaculture College at the end of the walk, is another beautiful institution worthy of exploring and has regular workshops and courses.
