The vast interior rural area of Australia is known as?

Answer 1

Depending on the context, remote rural areas may be referred to either as "the Bush" or "the outback".

The Bush generally refers to remote areas which are not semi-arid like the Outback. If someone has "gone bush" he may have decided to leave civilised society for awhile, but he is not likely to be in the remote, desert, outback areas.

Answer 2

As there are only a handful or so of major Australian cities, the vast majority of the continent is 'rural'. It is nearly all rural.

Australians call these rural areas names such as 'the country', 'the bush', or for more remote areas, 'the Outback'. Of course, some even more central in the continent or in the very remote parts are really just desert or salt bush.

Answer 3

Areas that are well away from the main coastal settled regions are generically referred to as the 'outback.' Often these areas are associated with rainfall that is low and are many hundreds of miles away from coastal regions.
However, Australia has many rural areas that are not part of the Outback per se and often are quite close to major cities. These would just be termed rural or "country" areas, or simply "bushland", depending upon specific nature involved.
