4. THE AUSSIE BUSH – WHAT AUSTRALIANS
MEAN WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THE BUSH
• When you grow up knowing something intimately – like the Australian
bush – it’s easy to forget that people in other parts of the world won’t
know what you’re talking about. That’s exactly what happens to me time
and time again when I talk to non-Australians about “the bush”.
Australia is, after all, full of it!
• descriptions of one of the journalists
• There’s so much to love about a walk through the bush in Australia and I can’t pin it down to just
one reason. The smell of the bush is something I want to bottle – a combination of eucalyptus
trees and other plants, and it’s so fresh and cheerful. The sounds are great – native Aussie birdlife
don’t have the amazing singing abilities of the birds I remember from Europe, but they still
sound great and listening to a kookaburra laugh makes me smile every time. And just the feeling
of being out in nature – even if I know there is a row of houses just a couple of hundred metres
away – makes me feel happy and grateful every time.

5. EXPERIENCING THE BUSH ON A VISIT TO
AUSTRALIA
• It’s not hard for visitors to
Australia to get some
experience of the bush, even if
your trip is confined to large
cities. Bush is everywhere. Just
look for largish green patches
on maps and you’ll probably
find some!
Kings Park is an
example of this
