Meet the creatures that stir in the hills, forests and hall of Mt Best. The people of Mt Best are a special breed, with their Secret Men’s and Women’s Business and their legend of the Bocce Bird. This is a town that consists of a solitary hall but is a constant, thriving hive of activity. Combined with the breathtaking views, Mt Best is a place of mystery, beauty and laughter.
