A bush mechanic, in Australian parlance, is someone who uses unorthodox techniques and readily available materials to build or fix mechanical problems.

Bush Mechanics (1998), the original half-hour documentary that spawned the four part series, was re-released today, 5th October 2025, by director David Batty on his youtube channel Rebel Films.
