If you’re looking to get outdoors and explore the region, a group of like-minded individuals in the district which has been led by Marlo local, Lucia Smith, have been creating hidden treasures along the bush tracks in Marlo.
Stemming from the popularity gained during the COVID pandemic, the Little Bush People have made a comeback.
The concept is quite straightforward — they are Little Bush People, not fairies. Unlike the delicate and graceful fairies of folklore, these beings are more robust and earthy. Think less Tinkerbell and more Stinkerbell.
While the Little Bush People are rarely seen, they leave behind signs of their presence. One of the most notable signs is their scent, especially pronounced in winter. During this time, they spend more time in their makeshift huts and less time washing, resulting in a stronger smell when they venture out.
Though they prefer not to be discovered, the best time to search for them is now, as their makeshift huts are currently scattered along the tracks. To start your adventure, grab a map and instructions from one of the cafés in Marlo and set off on an exciting exploration.
