bushwalk

Wilderness path journey

A bushwalk is a hike through natural Australian terrain—the bush being wild, uncultivated land.

The word is characteristically Australian and New Zealand: We went on a bushwalk through the Blue Mountains.

To bushwalk is to take such a hike; a bushwalker is someone who does so regularly.
