It's not quite how I'd have put it, but the Macquarie dictionary defines
bushwalking as "the sport of making one's way on foot through the bush,
often on tracks designed for this but sometimes for longer periods through
virgin terrain." The Australian "bushwalking" is not far in meaning
from "hiking", "trekking", "tramping", or "rambling", for those of you
speaking other
Englishes.
This was, to the best of my knowledge, the first bushwalking page on the Web, but is now just a personal site, not the comprehensive resource I originally envisaged. |
