Bush close to Lake Gunn, Fiordland, New Zealand.

The Bush is a term used for rural, undeveloped land or country areas in many places. In New Zealand, the term has a more specific connotation of isolated, heavily forested countryside, as opposed to the open coastal plains and tussock-covered high country. Bush always refers to areas of native trees rather than exotic forests.
