Outback

Australian-themed restaurant chain

Outback with a capital letter typically designates the distinctive inland region of Australia—a semi-arid expanse of red earth, scrubland, and scattered cattle stations that has become central to Australian national identity.

The capitalized form also appears as a brand name, most notably the American steakhouse chain Outback Steakhouse. (Lowercase outback is any remote rural area.)
