Abstract
Bush nursing developed in the early part of the 20th century to address the burden of illness and injury in remote areas of Australia. The authors describe the history of bush nursing in Australia and the role of a bush nurse today, including educational and practice requirements. A case study exemplifies the skills and knowledge an emergency nurse would need to perform successfully as a bush nurse.
