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.
In Aussie slang, extremely isolated areas might be called the 'donga.'
