Bush, Arkaroola, Outback, Maquis (split from Pirates steal tanks)

[pmulcahy11b]

Notice I split this thread from the "Pirates steal tanks" thread. I hope no one minds but there was significant thread drift and I really wanted to see how this process works. Pretty painless for the most part. - Kato13

Can't answer your question, but...whose bush were you in?

You all probably already know this but anyway, "been bush" is Aussie slang for having been out in a wilderness area. The term "outback" is similar but basically refers to anywhere in the warmer parts of Australia well away from the cities, with a more rural than wilderness connotation. "Bush" generally refers to wild country rather than rural. KC's State, South Australia and the State where MajorPo and I live, Western Australia, both have vast stretches of "bush" and KC and I have both spent a fair bit of time "in the bush".

hiding from the law?

I actually knew that slang, but deliberately put my mind in the gutter anyway...

Yeah I thought you knew Paul. Anyway, you live in Texas which has a lot of terrain I think I could relate to and you were a soldier so I bet you've spent a lot of time "in the bush" too eh? Heh heh.

HQ they are Australians, not Corsicans. For Corsicans that is the "Maquis", not the Bush . Some people have been hiding there for years. Yvan Colonna who participated in the killing of prefect Erignac hided there for 4 years before being captured (1999-2003).

Well, much more in the first sense than in the second...
