The "outback" of Australia is a vast, remote, very area. Only about 10% of the Australian population live in the outback. The last census in 2006 reported 690,000 citizens living in the outback.

Why is the western region of Australia called the outback?

The term "outback" refers to the minimally occupied regions beyond the main settlements. It comes from the fact that it is "out the back of beyond". It is, quite simply, a long way from civilisation. There seem to be no restrictions to the continuous wide, open spaces, and when you are in the outback there's a good chance that, unless you're on the major highways, you can travel for hours without meeting another car. Australia is a vast country, with huge tracts of unoccupied, dry land, which is the outback. It is its geography which makes it "the outback".

Why do lots of people live on the coast of Australia and not the middle?

This pattern is 'generally' true of most countries. Traditionally settlers settled where there were transportation routes, and this usually meant where there were rivers and coasts. Alot of the worlds largest cities are on rivers or coasts for this reason and the fact that people need water to live. This is exagerated by the size of Australia, as in it becomes more obvious the difference in density in inland 'outback' areas and coastal regions. Australia's 'outback' is mostly an inhospitable desert, with few water resources so no long term prospects for large populations to survive in such arid regions.
