When Mullumbimby's economy, based on local agriculture, started to flag in the late 1960s, the town was saved by becoming one of the country's great alternative lifestyle centres. Drawn by lush subtropical countryside and excellent weather conditions, people settled at the foot of Mt Chincogan. The town still has a delightful laid-back feel today with all the facilities of a mature tourist town.
