Let's go and visit the Outback!

(sacha)"There are a lot of kangaroos here"

(mathieu)"There is a lot of life in this part of Australia. Look at these kangaroos jumping towards the

the Outback regions extend from the northern to southern Australian coastlines, and has a number of climatic zones; including a tropical climate in the northern areas.

Indigenous Australians have lived in the Outback for approximately 50,000 years and occupied all Outback regions, including the driest deserts, when Europeans first entered central Australia in the 1800.

In the 2015–2016 financial year 815,000 visitors spent $988 million while on holidays in the Northern Territory.

The total population of the Outback in Australia declined from 700,000 in 1996 to 690,000 in 2006. The largest decline was in the Outback, while the Kimberley and Pilbara showed population increases during the same period. The sex ratio is 1040 males for 1000 females and 17% of the total population is indigenous.
