There are several different senses of "bushmen" in Australia.
If you consider the "bushmen of the Kalahari" in Africa, then Australia's equivalent and the original bushmen of Australia, are the indigenous people, known as the Aborigines.
Others who have earned the title are the swagmen and the stockmen of the bush and the outback. Australia's bushmen are any of the people who have worked hard to make a living from the bush; who have defied the odds of Australia's harsh lands and survived, despite whatever obstacles nature may put in their way.
The Kalahari Desert (Dorsland in Afrikaans)[1][2][3] is a large arid to semi-arid sandy area in Southern Africa extending 900,000 square kilometres (350,000 sq mi), covering much of Botswana and parts of Namibia and South Africa, as semi-desert, with huge tracts of excellent grazing after good rains. The Kalahari Desert is the southern part of Africa, and the geography is a portion of desert and a plateau. The Kalahari supports some animals and plants because most of it is not a true desert. There are small amounts of rainfall and the summer temperature is very high. It usually receives 3-7.5 inches (76-190 mm) of rain per year.[4] The surrounding Kalahari Basin covers over 2,500,000 square kilometres (970,000 sq mi) extending farther into Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, and encroaching into parts of Angola, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The only permanent river, the Okavango, flows into a delta in the northwest, forming marshes that are rich in wildlife. Ancient dry riverbeds-called omuramba-traverse the Central Northern reaches of the Kalahari and provide standing pools of water during the rainy season. Previously havens for wild animals from elephant to giraffe, and for predators such as lion and cheetah, the riverbeds are now mostly grazing spots, though leopard or cheetah can still be found.In this territory theres a civilization,( that we do not know the nameof it and your some sort of loosers).
A lot of animals live in the Kalahari Desert but I will only name a few. Jackals, springboks, spotted hyenas, snakes, lions, camels ect
Also There are African Elephants in Kalahari Desert
Animals that live in the Kalahari include brown hyenas, lions, meerkats, giraffes, warthogs, jackals, several species of antelope (including the eland, gemsbok, springbok, hartebeest, steenbok, kudu, and duiker), and many species of birds and reptiles. Vegetation in the Kalahari consists mainly of grasses and acacias, but there are over 400 identified plant species present (including the wild watermelon, or Tsamma melon). Camel rides flourish when it rains.
the major occupation of bushmen in kalahari desert is hunting.they have also learnt how to gather food
The desert tribes of the Kalahari are called the San , or more colloquially as Bushmen.
the Kalahari people eat antelopes, dears, snakes, flying ants ,bush vegetables and more
Climate:
The Kalahari desert has vast areas covered by red sand without any permanent surface water. Parts of the Kalahari receive over 250mm of erratic rainfall annually and are quite well vegetaed; it is only truly arid in the southwest (under 175mm of rain annually) making the Kalahari a fossil desert.
