The word "walkabout" originally referred to when Aborigines would down tools from the white society in which they lived, in order to return to their own, traditional way of life. This is still often applied today, particularly in areas such as central Australia, where aboriginal children and adults will leave without warning.

The more common modern application refers to when anyone who seeks an escape from society just goes on an extended holiday for awhile.
