donga1
Out in the bush. Creates an image of flat, stony spinifexed land. Donga was never used in Broken Hill as a reference to a hut - donga always meant in the wilderness of the dried arid outback. Eastern Coast bush could therefore never be interpreted as being the Donga: He's camping out in the donga somewhere. [borrowed during the Boer War from South African English where it meant `a gully formed by running water'; originally from Zulu and Xhosa udonga]
