The Buninj Boothrum - Echidna Dreaming Nimbin

 So I finally made it to Nimbin

Funnily enough I have been kept at a distance for a reason.  I have no former memories of how Nimbin was before the tragedy of last years fire in the main street.

I think it is fitting my first visit is because of the sacred Buninj.  Its clear these steps are ordered by spirit because I am with Sisters from another life and this one too.   We live in Yurrun.ga [Urunga] NSW on Gumbaynggirr Land

To come all the way to Nimbin to see DidJital perform was like the icing on the cake. Shane and the guys are awesome. Camping is always fun.  We have these nifty fold up tents that are funny as to deal with .. supposed to be easy.  I think we all need help with easy.

It was lovely to be there when this first came into being and now a lot more know the true history of the South Lismore Plateau and the Dreaming story of the sacred Buninj and the true history not the fabricated history.
