I quite like staying on the trails! Although a lot of the trails aren't very well kept, so maybe that kinda counts as off-trail! Not all of us Aussies are that adventurous!

Yes, bushwalking it is "down under". It does make it confusing that the same activity across the world has different names. This is especially so when you are trying to find information or write a blog post that will be useful across the world. Most bushwalking in Oz would be on "tracks" through "the bush" or "scrub" (bush being like forest, scrub being shorter "scrubby" trees). In a lot of areas where we hike/bushwalk there are tracks (or at least foot or animal pads) and it is good practice to walk on them so you have "minimal impact" This link takes you to a post we did a while ago about the <a href="http://frankinoz.blogspot.com/2008/02/overland-track-track-images.html" rel="nofollow">Overland Track "Track"</a>. You can see by the images this track has a lot of duck boarding to protect it. In Southern Tasmania, the tracks are much ruggeder. - <a href="http://frankinoz.blogspot.com/2006/04/surprise-bay-south-cape-riverulet-2nd.html" rel="nofollow">my wife Sue is trying to navigate her way through one track on this post</a>.

Now, they translate the word "hiking" as- walking/on foot tours. In Russia, the word “hiking” ( and the activity itself) didn’t exist till recently.
