A Sad Day For Nimbin

I woke up this morning to a phonecall from a neighbor who told me about a fire having burnt down some Nimbin icons, the "Rainbow Cafe", "The Nimbin Museum", and some adjacent building.
Coming into town today I saw a big hole in the front of the main street with smoldering remnants, a lot of police and fire brigade, and other "officials".

Check the media links with photos, some videos and an audio interview of Jenny Dowel, Mayor of Lismore commenting on the event.
