Australian bush

Rugged eucalyptus country

The Australian bush is the wild, sparsely populated interior of Australia—scrubland, forests, and outback terrain beyond urban areas.

It evokes a rugged landscape of eucalyptus, red earth, and distinctive wildlife.

Going into the bush means leaving civilization behind.

Bush also functions as an adjective: bush tucker, bush medicine.

The bush holds central place in Australian national identity, symbolizing self-reliance and connection to the land.
