Australian English compound of 'out' and 'back,' meaning the back country or remote areas. First recorded in the 1890s, it reflects the Australian perspective of distance from coastal settlements.
The Australian Outback covers about 70% of the continent but contains less than 3% of the population, making it one of the least densely populated regions on Earth. Aboriginal Australians have thrived in these lands for over 50,000 years, developing sophisticated navigation and survival techniques.
