Welcome to the Outback! For my US friends and family, I’m not talking about the steakhouse : ) I’m referring to the part of Australia that exists outside of the cities and populated areas. Australia’s population is very concentrated. The Australian Outback is everything outside of these populated areas – 65,000 million square kilometres (or 2.5 million square miles), inhabited by less than 60,000 people! The term Outback is used to describe the emptiness, remoteness, and the huge distances of inland Australia. The most popular Australian Outback icon is Ayers Rock. Uluru is the Aboriginal and official name. Ayers Rock is located in the middle of Australia, very close to the actual geographical centre.
