Australia.
The outback got its nickname from a newspaper article that was printed in 1869. The writer was referring to the rugged back country of Australia, and he called the furthest parts of the country the outback, a place beyond Wagga Wagga in New South Wales.
The 'outback'.
Australia is known for its outback, which refers to the vast, remote, and mostly uninhabited interior regions of the country.
Australia
Australia is a sparsely populated country you never have to travel for long to end up in what is known as the outback. The outback is made up mainly of sheep stations wheat farms etc as well as a large variety of mining concerns.
Channel Country is an area in central Australia, mostly Queensland, that is part of the 'outback'. Therefore, it is a dry, desert-like area, but not as you would expect. The name 'Channel Country' comes from the abundance of braided rivers, or channels. So, I suppose that Channel Country is made up of sand, dirt and water.
Jam was made in the dry Australian outback, this is true, I promise.
To Australians, the outback epitomises the free, open, country life. 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". However, the cities, towns and beaches also comprise a large proportion of Australia.
Australia. It is a country, continent, and an island. Nice, huh? Australia is also half desert. It contains the Great Sandy and the Great Victoria Deserts, and the Outback. Stay out of the Outback at night. You can stay at the restaurant Outback all night night long until they close, though.
