Word origin

The term 'bushland' originated in Australia, where it is commonly used to describe the native vegetation of the country. The word 'bush' itself has been used in Australian English since the early 19th century to refer to the uncultivated land or wilderness. Over time, 'bushland' has become synonymous with the natural landscapes of Australia, particularly areas covered with eucalyptus trees and shrubs. Today, bushland plays a crucial role in wildlife conservation efforts and is a defining feature of the Australian landscape.
