GIVE AS A GIFT
The gift that keeps arriving
Some gifts are opened once and forgotten. This one lands in the letterbox six times. Each chapter a small surprise, addressed directly to your little explorer by name.A thoughtful gift from a grandparent, an aunt, or a friend who wants to give something that lasts a little longer than a birthday morning.
A note from the maker:
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.

Good to know

What age is it for?
Stories are hand-picked for children aged 3–8. The 6-month arc is designed to grow with your child's curiosity over time.

Absolutely. Snail mail is the perfect gift from grandparents or friends. Simply enter the child’s name and address in the shipping section and your email in the billing section.
Where do you ship and how long does it take?
Little Bush Post letters travel by real snail mail, untracked, unhurried, and all the better for it. Tracking would add cost we'd rather keep out of your subscription.Estimated delivery times:Australia: 5–10 business days

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.
