Nimbin Soundtrails

step back in time

From Dreamtime to farming time to Aquarius time, the Nimbin Soundtrail is a sonic journey through the heart of Australia’s most famous alternative lifestyle destination.

You will be guided on a journey through the village and into its past. Walk in and out of stories, triggered by your location throughout the village, that are spoken by prominent locals and cultural icons to discover more about the Aquarius Festival, local indigenous culture, Nimbin’s farming history and environmental legacy.

 

Keep an eye out for signage around the village indicating where you can hear snippets of history that formed Australia’s counterculture capital.

 

Soundtrails acknowledges the Wiabal people of the Bundjalung nation, traditional custodians of the land on which this Soundtrail is located, and it pays tribute to the unique role they play in the life of this region.
