Rainbow Road
The Nimbin Walking Track
We want to develop a hi-tech hippie trail, that showcases the groovy, leading edge, environmental thinking that is Nimbin.
This project will deliver to the Northern Rivers Tourism Industry a highly marketable product, with opportunities for education and skills development.
It will build on the existing capabilities of Nimbin - already famous for its alternative culture by;
It will develop a high quality product that will motivate visitors to spend at least one night in the village, - or buy one more meal or piece or art or learn something about alternative life...............
This project has the specific, measurable goal of addressing a well-identified and statistically validated issue: the length of stay for current tourism visitors is too short. Over 77% of the 140,000 annual visitors to Nimbin visit for less than four hours. (Nimbin Visitor Survey 2008 - Australian Tourism Research Centre)…..if we can get visitors to stay just three more hours, and they spend $20 per person, that’s an extra $200k per year!
This project will promote our artists and thinkers…..and will give us – the people who ARE this community – the chance to tell their story the way they want to!

Nimbin Community Web Portal Project
Nimbin Community Centre Inc with the assistance of the Chamber of Commerce, applied for and secured the domain name nimbin.nsw.au and funding from NSW Trade & Investment to establish a web portal for the Nimbin Community.
The objective was to provide non-profit community services and organisations working within Nimbin and the surrounding region the opportunity for a free web-presence as well as enhancing the online profile of Nimbin.
As part of the initial phase of the project sub-sites are being constructed for the;
Chamber of Commerce, www.chamber.nimbin.nsw.au
Nimbin School of Arts, www.schoolofarts.nimbin.nsw.au
Nimbin Preschool, www.preschool.nimbin.nsw.au
The Nimbin Community web portal is built using the Joomla Open Source content management system, allowing authorised users to change their information, update details and blog/newsletter through a simple online interface requiring no prior knowledge or html skills.
Training and online manuals will be provided for those taking part in the project. Nimbin Community Centre Inc will provide all hosting costs, administration and support.
We would love to hear from any Nimbin Community groups (not for profit) and link in.
