The correct term is bushwalking, which refers to on and off trail walking in natural environments, day and/or overnight. Hiking is commonly referred to in North America for day walks on defined trails. As such the use of the term hiking does not make sense in an Australian context as walking often involves travel through open dry forests and scrub where trails can become faint or non existent.
