Word origin
The term 'Outback' originated in the 19th century to describe the remote and sparsely populated areas of Australia. It is derived from the phrase 'out back' referring to the backcountry or remote regions. The Outback has since become synonymous with the Australian wilderness and is a significant part of the country's identity.
