The Undergrowth collective is an evolving organism of writers, artists, media makers and cutting edge ontological guerillas.

Undergrowth publishes an online and print magazine containing the best short fiction, journalism, poetry, visual art, photography, comics and esoterica from Australia's counter-cultural underground.

 Undergrowth also hosts an e-book library of emerging and established authors in downloadable PDF form, on-line art galleries of contributing artists, music videos, spoken word and audio interviews available as podcasts, video documentary clips, 'nu media' and animations, community forums and Nomadology, featuring traveller's blogs examining the world around us.

We are all change agents. Engage the flow and swim with it. In it. Become it...

{we live not Underground, but in the Undergrowth}
