Sydney Goes Bush is a 1933 Australian radio revue by Edmund Barclay. It was one of several revues Barclay wrote for Humphrey Bishop.[3]

The Sydney Sun said it "filled up the second hour of the alternative pro gramme most happily. A very' good cast kept up the fun... Very bright music; very smart verses;' spontaneous and catchy ensembles on local topics of the moment... It is good to realise our scribes are finding Inspiration for their fun-material in their native land."[4]

The production was repeated later in the year.[5]
