Holidays and Camping in Australia
The outback is the remote and usually semi-arid interior of Australia, although the term colloquially can cover any lands outside of the main urban areas. The term outback is generally used to refer to locations that are comparatively more remote than those areas deemed "the bush". The outback does not officially exist within any governmental frameworks or boundaries. Many local government shires do use the term to enhance tourist appeal for their own shire.
The marginally fertile parts are known as Rangelands and have been traditionally used for sheep or cattle farming, on sheep stations and cattle stations on pastoral leases.
Along with agriculture, tourism and scattered mining are the main economic activities in this vast and sparsely settled area. Due to the size of the outback, the total value of mining and farming is considerable.

Fishing Tours
Take up the barramundi challenge. Its Australias best fighting fish with sizes of 15-20kg being caught in the local lakes, as well as some black brim and long tom. Or we can take you up into the gulf country to fish the salt-water rivers. TOUR DETAILS
Population of the Outback
Over 90% of the Australian population lives in urban settlements on the coastal fringes. Despite this, the outback and the history of its exploration and settlement provides Australians with a mythical backdrop, and stories of swagmen, squatters, outlaws such as Ned Kelly (though Ned Kelly spent virtually all his time in the relatively temperate Great Dividing Range) and so on are central to the national ethos of the country. The song Waltzing Matilda, which is about swagmen and squatters, is a popular traditional Australian song.
There have been various attempts at creating settlements for Australian Aboriginals to live traditionally, with varied success. Often after becoming used to European influences and generational changes it is difficult for Aboriginals to live this kind of lifestyle.

Outback Rodeo Adventure
Outback rodeo tours will consist of travelling to an outback rodeo with one of our guides who competes. Watch all the action as the cowboys try and ride the bucking bulls and horses or as they jump off a horse at 40 km an hour on to a steer with big horns and try to wrestle it to the ground. MORE>>>
Travel, Trips, 4WD Tours, Shooting Tours and more
Organised travel to the outback is popular, although some Australian and international tourists travel in their own vehicles. Such a trip, particularly once off the few bitumen roads in the outback, requires considerable advance planning and a suitable vehicle (usually a four wheel drive). On remote routes considerable supplies and equipment may be required, this can included prearranged caches. Some trips cannot be undertaken safely with a single vehicle instead requiring a convoy approach. Deaths from tourists and locals becoming stranded on outback trips occur, and rescues for the ill-prepared are a regular occurrence.
