Out There_Nimbin Book Demo

Bursting with creativity and revolutionary ideas, a bunch of dreamers found shelter from the storm. With pure madness or for the sake of love, a small rural town started a big movement. "Out there" chronicles 45 years of alternative revolution: the simplest, yet strangest journey ever undertaken; an insightful collection of 38 separate self-told stories that concisely capture different aspects of Australia’s counterculture movement. This is the real Nimbin - naked, deconstructed and spontaneous - revisited through a unique concept that combines powerful photographs with poignant audio recordings and gripping soundtracks all individually crafted to each tale.
