walk·about (wôk′ə bo̵ut′)
In Australian aboriginal cultures, a "walkabout" is a ritual in which a young man goes on a solitary journey through the wilderness in an attempt to learn more about his own character and strength.
Australian: A temporary return to traditional aboriginal life, taken especially between periods of work or residence in white society and usually involving a period of travel through the outback.
Walkabout is an Australian English word originally referring to the belief of non-indigenous Australians that Aboriginal people were prone to "go walkabout" - a pidgin expression meaning that they would stop doing their jobs and wander through the bush for weeks at a time. This was a time of reflection, a chance to connect with nature, and a chance to rediscover oneself.
This has lead to a modern usage, whereby someone who has wandered off (for a few minutes or a few months) is said to have “GONE WALKABOUT”. It can also apply to a missing item, for example, "Have you seen my pencil, Jack? It's gone walkabout again."
