Information About

Bushland




The term ''bushland'' usually refers to an area that has only a sparse Flora and Fauna . This term was first used to describe the harsh Australian Outback , the red Semi-desert that covers a significant part of the inner continent. The soil is usually very salty and therefore only specialized plants and animals can survive. Human survival in the bushlands has a whole mythology evolving around it, with the legendary stories of Trackers and Bushranger s deeply entrenched in Australian folklore. (See Burke , Flinders , Ned Kelly ) Probably the best survivors out there are the Aboriginals , who have learned how to blend in with nature and become a part of it.
