Sydney Goes Bush is a 1933 Australian radio revue by Edmund Barclay. It was one of several revues Barclay wrote for Humphrey Bishop.
The Sydney Sun said it "filled up the second hour of the alternative pro gramme most happily. A very' good cast kept up the fun... Very bright music; very smart verses;' spontaneous and catchy ensembles on local topics of the moment... It is good to realise our scribes are finding Inspiration for their fun-material in their native land."
The production was repeated later in the year.
