The term "Outback" refers to a vast, remote and sparsely populated region in Australia. It is often used as a metaphor for the country's rugged interior, characterized by its arid landscape, deserts, and isolated settlements. The Outback covers approximately 70% of Australia’s land area and includes regions such as the Simpson Desert, the Great Dividing Range, and the Australian Alps. It is a harsh environment with extreme temperatures, limited water sources, and few resources, making it challenging for humans to inhabit. Despite this, the Outback has a unique beauty and is home to many indigenous species of flora and fauna.
