- There is a white thorn bush in Autawalla in some field and there is supposed to be gold under the bush. Some people made an attempt to dig up the bush and to find the pot of gold. Michael Brennan was going down to dig the bush but he met a person on his way down who told him not to dig the bush that it was not right to go near fairy trees. No one went near it since that time. But it is still there.
