The Plantem is a Nimbin street theatre character created by former Nimbin, New South Wales resident Bob Hopkins, modelled on Lee Falk's comic book character The Phantom . The Plantem campaigns against prohibition and joins in the festivities of the Nimbin MardiGrass Cannabis Law Reform Rally.
Since Bob vacated the position, the Plantem was portrayed by another local Nimbin fellow John Taylor, also known by the curious name of "Chicken" George. George died in December 2007 [1]
