| | Australian Outback History: Different People, Different Lives | The Way People Live |
 | | Geographically, the Outback branches out in all directions from the heart of Australia, and it is cradled to the east and west by the highly populated eastern and southwestern coastal regions. |
 | | The Outback comprises not only the scorched and barren lands of central Australia and some of the driest inhabited deserts on Earth but also rich tropical rain forests, flood- and cyclone-prone coastal areas, and dense scrubland and bushland. |
 | | The Outback is the Red Centre and the Simpson Desert, the Barkly Tableland and the Top End, the Gulf of Carpentaria and Cape York, the Nullarbor Plain and the Pilbara, the Channel Country and the Strzelecki Track and all the regions, towns, stations and settlements in between. |
