The Outback is an absolutely vast area of Australia, spanning 5.6 million km squared. It covers about 70% of the content of Australia, it would take up half of the United States if placed on top. It’s mostly flat, and covered with soil that is highly infertile and it’s filled with kangaroos, dingos (Australian wild dogs).

Despite it’s size, there are barely any people. In fact, less than 5% of the Australian population live in the outback. So despite it being a beautiful, astonishing space…there is an inherent sense of threat in this wilderness. To cross it, is to become far more vulnerable than we probably have been before.
