The Outback

Introduction:

The Outback refers to remote areas in Australia. These are areas where very few people live, and they are far away from big cities. Most of the Outback is filled with huge deserts. This means that it can get very hot, and some places don't get a lot of rain. However, some areas in the Outback get enough rain to flood! The temperature can also change greatly. In the summer, it can be as hot as 120 degrees, but in the winter, it can get as cold as 15 degrees. Because of this, it can be hard to live in the Outback, but Australians are used to the area and know how to use their beautiful environment for things that they need!

What makes this environment special or different?:

The Outback is different from the rest of Australia because most of it is uninhabited. This means that most of the land has no towns or people. It is just a huge, spacious piece of land. Lots of wild animals roam through the Outback, including camels. They were brought to Australia in the 1840's, and were originally used to help explore the Outback! I got the chance to ride a camel, be sure to check out my latest album!

What parts of this environment help people to live here?:

The wind that flows through the Outback is helpful to the people living there. Because the landscape is so flat, wind can flow freely and move strongly across the land.
