What area does the outback cover?
The Australian Outback refers to the vast, remote, and arid interior regions of Australia. It encompasses a significant portion of the country, covering about 70% of Australia's landmass, including regions like the Northern Territory, Western Australia, South Australia, and parts of Queensland and New South Wales. The Outback is characterized by its rugged terrain, sparse population, and unique ecosystems, featuring deserts, grasslands, and occasional wetlands.

Sandstorms in Australia primarily occur in arid and semi-arid regions, particularly in the interior of the country, such as the Outback and parts of Western Australia, South Australia, and the Northern Territory. These storms are most common during dry periods and can be triggered by strong winds that lift loose, dry sand from the ground. Areas near deserts, such as the Great Victoria Desert and the Simpson Desert, are particularly susceptible to these phenomena.
