Where is the outback of Australia?

Answer 1

The term "the outback" is generally used to refer to locations that are comparatively more remote than those areas named "the bush" which, colloquially, can refer to any lands outside the main urban areas. Its theoretical range covers from several hundred kilometres east of the coast of Western Australia and continues in a rough horizontal line, excluding much of the fertile and green countryside of Victoria, and continuing north to the tropics, including the Gulf of Carpentaria, but not the Top End of the Northern Territory. The middle of the continent is - in terms of human civilization - pretty empty. Much of it is desert and semi-arid land, but even the northern third where monsoonal rains hit and cause flooding is regarded as the outback. The outback is delineated more by its remoteness than by climate.

The outback is characterised by very large properties running cattle and/ or sheep and called 'stations', which are similar to a ranch. The crop regions of New South Wales, though remote from the cities, are not generally regarded as the outback until one travels beyond the main agricultural areas. They can cover hundreds of square kilometers in order to provide a living for the owner, as the rainfall and soil fertility are low.

There are also Aboriginal reserves throughout the outback, and a wide range of very fascinating wildlife, from emus to kangaroos, pademelons to wedge-tailed eagles.

The definition of outback varies, with some delineating it at the 300ml rainfall and less mark, though this is not necessarily the case in the north. Whilst this region is some distance from the main capital cities, it is still populated by numerous small and large towns - in some cases, even small cities.

Answer 2

The "outback" encompasses the remote, inland area of Australia. Some of the outback is desert, some is semi-arid and some is where hundreds of thousands of head of sheep and cattle are run on huge stations.

Answer 3

The Outback is the area in the middle of Australia that is mostly desert where fewer people live. Theoretically, it is classed as beginning north of the Flinders Ranges in South Australia and extending throughout the inland, to within a few hundred kilometres of the east and north Coastlines, and virtually right to the western coast apart from in the southwest.

It is not all desolate. Many areas of the outback are valuable for sheep and cattle stations. There are rivers and creeks flowing through the outback,and permanent waterholes.
Outbacks in Australia are remote areas faraway from the main populations of that nation.

Answer 5

The "outback" is the vast inland area of Australia. It is a generic term applied (very loosely) to anywhere in Australia which is more than 500 kms from the coast, except for in the west and through parts of South Australia where it applies to the semi-arid country extending right to the coast. Some of the outback is desert, some is semi-arid and some is where hundreds of thousands of head of sheep and cattle are run on huge stations.

Answer 6

The term "outback" refers to the minimally occupied regions beyond the main settlements. It is a non-specific term generally meaning any of the remote areas where here is little to see except for sheep, cattle and occasionally, wheat. 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.

Answer 7

The "outback" covers most of the continent. It is bordered by the agricultural areas to the eats and west, and by the Flinders Ranges in South Australia.

Answer 8

Outback refers to a place it is not an animal.

It is the wilderness (Bush) of Australia
