Australian landscape

Bushland and billabongs

The Australian landscape encompasses the continent's distinctive terrain—vast red deserts, eucalyptus bushland, rugged outback, and coastal expanses.

The term often evokes specific imagery: ochre earth, sparse vegetation, endless horizons.

In art, Australian landscape refers to a genre depicting these scenes, from colonial pastoral views to Aboriginal representations of country: The gallery featured Australian landscape paintings from the Heidelberg School.
