The Hippie Trip by Kris Latona

‘If you were into dreams, an Aquarian one was better than most. You could pick it out from the counter culture catalogue and try it on for size... There were a lot of dreamers that summer on the Pacific Highway heading north to Nimbin.’

Irreverent, funny and touching, The Hippie Trip is about life at Nimbin, Australia’s hippie capital, in its heyday. This is a tale for everyone who dropped out or missed out.

Amy’s Hut by Emilie Riegel

When her husband walked out, leaving her with two teenagers, Amy decided to break out on her own. She left Germany and arrived in Australia with little possessions, but a great desire for a warm climate and the freedom to be herself.

Amy’s journey takes her to Nimbin, to Queensland and back to Nimbin. We follow her turbulent love affair with Joshua, young enough to be her son. Gradually she overcomes the traumatic legacy of her wartime childhood and failed marriage, and achieves the self-discovery and independence she was denied for so long.
