“He's sleeping with the treasure from Chapter 2 right now.”

WHAT ARRIVES
Inside every envelope
✦ Feature 1 - The story
A chapter of an ongoing nature tale
A gripping, easy-to-read story-letter printed on tactile paper. Filled with stories of the resilient animals and plants that share our suburban streets.
✦ Feature 2 - The treasure
A real piece of the natural world
A "clue" from the story to hold and study. Whether it’s a piece of the string or a star from a tidal pool, these treasures turn the story into a tangible reality. Not plastic, not filler.
✦ Feature 3 - The wild quest
An activity that takes them off the couch
Real-world activities, from gecko spotting to eagle-eye mapping, designed to develop critical thinking, creativity and deepen your child's connection to the wild right outside their door.
The little bush isn't far away:
There's a quiet magic in an envelope that travels across the country to land in your letterbox. I created The Little Bush Post as a rebellion against the screen, as an invitation to trade a notification for the weight of heavy paper and the anticipation of a story you can hold in your hands. The Little Bush Post is proof you don't need the Outback to find the wild. You just need to look a little closer.Join us at the letterbox.Jess - founder, Northern Beaches, Sydney

Everywhere else: delivery times vary by destinationInternational letters may take a little longer depending on customs and your local postal service. Worth the wait, we think.Based outside Australia? Subscribe here with international postage included.
Can I cancel?
Monthly subscriptions can be cancelled anytime before the next dispatch date. No fuss, no questions.
What happens after 6 months?
The wild has many chapters. Subscribers don't have to do a thing to stay on the trail. Your subscription will automatically transition to Season 2, beginning in September 2026. We’ll send you a gentle preview of the new theme before the first envelope flies out.
What is the "urban wild"?
We believe you don't need to live on a farm or go on a hike to find nature. The "Urban Wild", or Little Bush, is the magpie on your fence, the moss in the pavement cracks, and the specific scent of rain on a Sydney footpath. We teach children to find magic exactly where they are.
The Little Bush Post is created on Garigal Country, on land the Garigal People have known as Bongin Bongin. We pay our respect to Elders past and present, and to the children growing up on this Country
