On Sunday 18th September, students embarked on a full day trip to Nimbin and Nightcap National Park.

Secret blue lake

The trips itinerary included swimming at a secret blue lake with optional cliff jumping, lunch in Nimbin and visiting a hidden waterfall in Nightcap National Park.

Drinks and rest on top of a waterfall

The journey from Byron Bay to Nimbin is approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, and Nightcap National Park is approximately 20 minutes outside of the Nimbin township.

Cliff jumping

Our trip coincided with the Nimbin MardiGrass, a peaceful protest for the personal use of cannabis, so Nimbin was crowded with interesting people and smoke.

Picnic on the lake

Nimbin is a hippie destination, with eclectic shops and a vibrant arts and alternative health scene.

Enjoying the clear, blue water

Drinks and snacks were provided

Nightcap National Park contains World Heritage-listed rainforests and an abundance of wildlife including rare, vulnerable and threatened species.

Koala!

Nightcap National Park has strong spiritual significance to the Aboriginal community. The Bundjalung and Widjabul aboriginal peoples lived off the land and still hold ceremonies in Nightcap National Park.

It was an epic full day trip together
