Australia is a very big country, almost as large as China. But not many people live there. In fact, its population is just a little larger than Beijing’s! That means there is lots of space, but there are not many cities or people. In Australia, they called this area—the outback.
The outback is in the middle of the country, and Alice Springs is the biggest city in the outback. Many people go to Alice Springs to see Uluru (乌卢鲁巨石),it is a beautiful rock and it is sacred (神圣的) to Aboriginals (土著).
Another fun thing to see in the outback is Kakadu National Park. It is just north of Alice Springs and covers 22,000 square km. Birds, kangaroos, lizards (蜥蜴), crocodiles(鳄鱼) and snakes all live in Kakadu. If you sit quietly, you can see them drinking from their watering holes.
The natural beauty of the outback is very different from what you might see in a big city. At night, you can see millions of stars in the sky. If you are planning a holiday to Australia, the outback is worth (值得的) a visit!
