bushland
Untamed native terrain
Bushland is uncultivated or undeveloped land covered with native vegetation—scrub, trees, and undergrowth.
The term is especially common in Australian English, where it describes the characteristic landscape of the outback and rural areas: We hiked through miles of bushland.
It often implies wild terrain that hasn't been cleared for agriculture or settlement.
