`It's so empty and featureless, like a newspaper that has been entirely censored. We used to drive for miles, always expecting that around the next corner there'd be something to look at, but there never was. That is the charm of Australia.'
ROBERT MORLEY on Australia's Outback (1949)
Founded in 1836 and settled by non-convicts, South Australia has an extraordinary range of scenery. There are fertile farming lands in the south, but the vast majority of the land is taken up by the arid deserts and peaks of the Outback. The state is vast, and has many attractions other than those included here, such as the remote opal mining town of Coober Pedy.
Originally part of South Australia, the sparsely populated Northern Territory is still real frontier country. Almost half of the population, a large proportion of which are Aboriginal people, lives in cosmopolitan Darwin. From the tropical `Top End' to the desert lands of the `Red Centre' around Alice Springs, the Northern Territory is endlessly fascinating, with superb natural attractions like Kakadu and Uluru (Ayers Rock).| COUNTRY |
