Australian bushland refers to the natural vegetation found in Australia, characterized by a mix of trees, shrubs, and grasses. This ecosystem is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including unique species such as kangaroos, koalas, and various birds. The bushland plays a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and supporting the environment. The climate in bushland areas can vary, but it often experiences hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Many plants in this ecosystem are adapted to survive drought conditions, with some species having deep root systems. Bushland is also important for cultural practices among Indigenous Australians, who have lived in harmony with this landscape for thousands of years.
