Many people believe that Australia's soul lies somewhere in the ancient-looking and worn land of the continent's outback. Where its spirit may be exactly doesn't matter, for everyone will find it in a different place. For some it may lie deep in a craggy, colourful gorge, or in a strange monolith flaring red at sunrise or sunset, or by a river of sand lined with big red gums. For others, it may be a lily-covered billabong where herons, egrets and honking hordes of magpie geese feed, or it may be in the immense desert plains with their red sand-dunes, white salt pans, seas of shimmering gibber stones and far horizons.There is no specific boundary to the outback; some even say it begins and ends in our minds. Broadly, it applies to the land lying beyond the coastal cities, towns, the settled rural areas, and the green slopes of the Great Dividing Range; this means that it covers more than three-quarters of the continent.
