Morphology

bushwalking = bushwalk (transparent) = bush + walk + ing

The verb 'bushwalk' (bush + walk) clearly names the action, and adding '-ing' forms the activity noun; the relation is directly inferable.

Etymology

Bushwalking comes from Australian English: bush means 'wild countryside' and walking means moving on foot. So bushwalking is simply walking for pleasure in the bush, much like a hike.
