Australian outback
Arid interior continent
The Australian outback is the vast, arid, sparsely populated interior of Australia—remote bushland far from coastal cities.
It conjures images of red desert, scattered cattle stations, and rugged self-reliance: They drove for days through the outback.
Often shortened to simply the outback when the Australian context is clear.
