An Australian term with two meanings. In its more colorful sense, a scrub turkey was slang for a swagman — a wandering bush worker or itinerant laborer who travelled the outback with all their possessions on their back, living rough and working seasonal jobs. The comparison to a scruffy, wild bird is perfectly apt. In its literal sense, it refers to the Australian brush turkey, a large mound-building bird found in the eastern bush. Both uses evoke the rugged, untamed Australian bush landscape.
