3. What does the depiction of the Bush in stories/poems tell you about Australians’ attitudes towards their country?

The depiction of the bush in Australian literature is a reflection of the country's unique landscape and the relationship between Australians and their environment. The bush represents the vast and rugged wilderness that covers much of the Australian continent, and is a central theme in many works of Australian literature. 

One of the key features of the bush is its harshness and unforgiving nature. The bush can be a difficult and dangerous place to live, with extreme temperatures, rugged terrain, and the ever-present threat of bushfires and other natural disasters. However, it is also a place of great beauty and natural wonder, with unique flora and fauna that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
