Bushcraft in Australia isn’t just about survival—it’s about connection. Connection to the land, to our heritage, and to the skills that have kept people alive here for tens of thousands of years.
From the First Nations peoples—masters of fire, tracking, and foraging—to the swagmen, stockmen, and pioneers who learned to thrive in the wild, Australian bushcraft is unlike anywhere else. The Outback, coastal forests, tropical rainforests, and alpine regions demand unique knowledge and resilience.
In 2023, BushcraftOz—Australia’s longest-running bushcraft forum—closed its doors. A decade of knowledge and a tight-knit community risked being lost. That’s why we built Bushcraft Australia—to keep the fire burning and bring together those who live for the outdoors, adventure, and self-reliance.
You’ll find practical guides, community knowledge, and authentic experiences here (even a voice/radio channel if you want to have a yarn). Whether you’re looking to learn the basics, master advanced skills, or simply connect with others who share your passion for bushcraft, you’re welcome to join us.
A special welcome to former BushcraftOz members—your experience and knowledge will help make this community what it is.
