Andrew Simpson, President of MA-New South Wales has kindly given permission to publish his recent article about the devasting fire in Nimbin. The article is timely as we draw nearer to bushfire season and presents an opportunity to consider the value of local heritage but also to make sure your museum or collection is prepared and protected.

We have listed some additional resources at the end of the article. On 13 August, fire destroyed a number of buildings in the main street of the small township of Nimbin. These were old wooden structures from the 1920s. The buildings housed some iconic counter-culture attractions of this unique northern NSW community, including the Nimbin Museum. The museum consisted of eight rooms filled with objects and original artworks. Visitors were invited to ‘follow the Rainbow Serpent’ through the rooms, to discover for themselves local stories of Indigenous origins, European settlement and the Aquarius festival and movement that changed the township forever more than 40 years ago. The museum projected a sense of the township’s unique identity nation-wide and even beyond.

It was important for local tourism. For those with only limited time while passing through, it was a key place to visit. The loss of the Nimbin Museum is another sad reminder of the tenuous and highly vulnerable nature of so much local heritage in regional Australia. Every time there is a devastating bush fire, cyclone, or flood event in this country, we are confronted by the same issues.

While people are always more important than buildings, we must ask the same questions that have been asked of many other small communities hit by similar disasters. Will the loss of the Nimbin Museum restrict how the community can tell its stories and project its identity in future? What economic impact might this have locally? And the Nimbin loss reminds us that many local heritage museums care for heritage that is not simply ‘local’, but often commands a regional and even ‘national’ importance when it comes to significance assessment and the multiple values connected with heritage.

Resilient communities recover. Helicon focus crack. There is already an appeal for donations in place in Nimbim to rebuild the museum. The website records that someone has already donated a copy of the Woodstock vinyl long-playing triple album, complete with the signatures of many of those performing. It’s encouraging to see those outside the community already providing support. In more general terms, national organisations such as, particularly through the community museums network, state government agencies such as Museums & Galleries NSW, and international organisations such as, can also provide help.

Over the years a number of commentators and critics have noted the apparent ‘sameness’ of many local community museums in regional Australia: allegedly, similar Eurocentric settlement narratives; same rusty farm machinery; same local crafts. Nimbin’s unique counter-culture heritage challenges this paradigm. Many would argue this heritage saved the community from economic decline and possible extinction, through providing a concentration of new ways of living and producing culture with economic and tourism benefits. The Nimbin loss, in perspective, prompts the suggestion that perhaps we are not sufficiently championing either the actual diversity or the wider importance of highlighting diversity among our community museums in regional Australia.
