Aborigines aren't referred to as 'bushmen' in Australia. A bushman would be a man who works and lives in the bush/Outback. http://www.cultureandrecreation.gov.au/articles/bush/ [Added reference link - McG] Feb 08 06, 5:44 PM

To extend on the previous answer, Early (white) settlers/pioneers can also be referred to as Australian Bushmen or 'swagmen'. (The early explorers and settlers of the Outback.) Stockmen (both indigenous and white), bushmen, and swagmen, all refer to people who live/work in the Australian rural Outback. Feb 08 06, 5:57 PM
