Definitions
(Australia) A man who lives in or has extensive experience of the Australian bush or outback.
An occasional Afghan makes a good bushman. These rare birds, with the help of natives, found that by winding in and out over the soft ground of the valleys they could bring a camel-train where no wheeled transport could go.
