Transport options for
getting to Nimbin, once you are in Australia ....
Nimbin is just below the Queensland border in
the North East corner of New South Wales.
The nearest interstate/overseas airports are at
Coolangatta and Brisbane. There is a train station at the Brisbane
Airport, which can take you to Roma Station. There are bus terminals
there. This train is one of the least fussed ways to get out
of Brisbane.
Most services coming up or down the coast go to
Byron Bay, where there are a number of shuttle and tour services
that go from Byron to Nimbin.
Bus services from Lismore and Murwillumbah to
Nimbin are less frequent. However, if
you can get to any of the surrounding towns listed below, you
can get a free Liquor Accord bus for the remainder of the journey!
