I've only known it as - brumby - and no, there aren't or haven't been any feral horses apart from what breed on a large properties.
I have run into a few of the crazy bulls back in the day though, not far if I've got the right Dunn, from his parents farm. An ex pat American had a few cattle go totally feral in difficult to access terrain, what breed not helped by shifty characters sneaking up from the back end probably though the national state forest to clean out cattle of the more placid temperament. I to date haven't seen anything near as crazy. I recall a horse agent calling in there (as the guy had a large area also had horses that breed) looking for bucking bull material ... all of half a minute till there was a pained pale look on his face, eh no he'd arrived to take a couple but no, no thanks just too wild. The yards out of interest where built using yard sides that were three big blue gum stacked on top of each other with a small gap but not enough for a person to squeeze though. A bit over 3 meters high iirc and some section of his yards were higher.
(quick edit of clarity and a typo and a second for another silly spelling pail ... I can't blame auto correct. )
