Central Australia

Central Australia is a vast, arid inland region of Australia, known for its striking red deserts, rugged landscapes, and sparse vegetation. It encompasses the vast Outback and includes iconic areas like Uluru (Ayers Rock), a sacred sandstone monolith. The climate is generally hot and dry, with limited rainfall. The region is sparsely populated, with communities primarily made up of Indigenous peoples and a few small towns. Central Australia plays a significant cultural role for Aboriginal Australians, and its unique environment supports distinctive ecosystems adapted to extreme conditions. It is a symbol of Australia's natural beauty and ancient history.
