Question

The real Australia we say “Is in the bush”. Why do we say this?

Answer 1

Since the Canadian's, say the very same thing. You must be

related to the queen. <}:-})

Answer 2

Because you people have a fixation on female anatomy.

Answer 3

Quantify "real".

Cities (after a while) pretty much all start looking the same... cars, smog, skyscrapers, traffic congestion, etc.

But when you get out into "the bush" -- the smell of the gumtrees, the wildlife, the rugged landscape, kookaburras laughing or cockatoos screeching... there's no other place like it on Earth.

So if you say that the only place tourists can get a "feel" for the real Australia is out in the bush, then I kind of agree.  However, if tourists' ideas of the "real" Australia is Bondi or climbing the Harbour Bridge or having their photo taken with a koala, then obviously the "real" Australia is wherever you are.

Answer 4

because all cities look the same, pollution, cars, traffic, tall buildings lol. whereas the bush has the true heart of australia in it. eculyptus (spelling? lol), tree's, cattle. to me it all sounds beautiful :)
