Bushwalking
What we we mean when we talk about bushwalking?
Bushwalking is what we locally call “hiking” in Australia, it refers to recreational walking in natural Australian landscapes.
A bushwalk might simply be a walk along a trail through urban parks or forest near where you live, or it could be a full day walk in a national park or reserve. For more experienced bushwalkers, it can also be a multi-day expedition where you are self-sufficient carrying a tent and food.
