The Brotherhood of the Good Shepherd published ''The Bush Brother'' from 1904 to 1980. Frederick Henry Campion founded the journal in September 1904 and he described the focus of the publication as "...a quarterly magazine, issued to friends and subscribers in Australia and England, and to those who live in the districts we work. Its object is to describe the work of the Brotherhood for each quarter, recording baptisms and weddings, etc., giving a quarterly balance-sheet, and containing articles from the brethren describing their work for the past quarter. It will also contain a sermon and other spiritual help for those living in the bush." It was originally priced at three pence an issue. The Bush Brotherhood had its origins in the Bishop of Rockhampton's settlement at Longreach in Central Queensland known as ''St. Andrew's Bush Brotherhood''.
