Australian bush folk music

Australian bush folk music is a traditional style that reflects rural life, pastoral stories, and the history of the Australian outback. It often features storytelling through lyrics, acoustic instruments like guitar, harmonica, and banjo, and captures themes of bushwalking, working on farms, Indigenous culture, and pioneering spirit. Rooted in both Indigenous melodies and European folk influences, it conveys a sense of connection to land and community. The genre is characterized by its heartfelt lyrics and simple melodies, serving as a voice for rural Australians and preserving the cultural narrative of the bush lifestyle.
