About Bushman Mick

Bushman Mick has Been best friends with one of Maudcares Founders Luke since they were both 7 years old. With a passion for nature and wildlife, at a young age they would both disappear into the bush and explore what the natural world had to offer. 

In the year 2018, tired and overworked and running his busy business in Melbourne, Bushman Mick decided he had had enough of the 9-5 world and wanted to break away from the norm and live a more simple life. He sold all of his belongings, bought a van and took off into the unknown, exploring the wild wilderness of Australia, where he has been ever since!
