Dinkum is full of strange and colorful characters, but few are as unusual as the eccentric Bushman. He offers the chance to craft useful hunting gear, provided that you can track him down. He is one of the most elusive NPCs in the game, so finding him won’t be an easy task. If you’re having trouble, here is everything you need to know to find the Bushman in Dinkum.
The Bushman in Dinkum – how to find him
Dinkum is a fairly straightforward game to get your head around, but it is driven by the constant need to upgrade your equipment. To do that, you need to find someone who can craft better gear. One of these people is the Bushman. However, the difficult thing about finding the Bushman in Dinkum is that he doesn’t appear in a single location. He can pop up in almost any location and in any weather conditions and not always in the same place twice, so you’ll have to wander around to find him. To find him, you’ll need to move around until you hear the sound of someone whistling. That is your only clue that Ted Selly, aka The Bushman, is nearby. Look for someone with a bucket on their head and talk to them.
