The Outback is a term used to describe Australian regions far away from civilization. Most of the Outback is in the states Western Australia and the Northern Territory. However, also Queensland, South Australia, and New South Wales have a share in this primeval landscape. The size of the Outback is more than 16 times bigger than Germany – which is enormous.
This hinterland offers very spectacular landscapes, often in bright red color. This is where the term Red Continent comes from – as Australia is often called. The climate in the Outback is extreme. On the one hand, there are extremely hot regions in Western Australia where it often does not rain for years. On the other hand, the eastern regions of the state of Queensland are home to humid tropical rainforests.
