Where Is the Outback?
1 About one-half of Australia is desert. This area is the outback .The
Name comes from the words “ out in the back of the mountains and
Cities”. The weather is very hot and dry , and the winds are strong.
Sometimes there is no rain for many years. But when it rains, there is
Water everywhere ! Not many people live in the outback.
2 The people in the outback have cattle or sheep farms. The farms are
Called stations. The stations are very big Some stations are as big as a
Small country Life is difficult because everything is far away . Sometimes
It takes a day or two to driver to the next stations Towns are usually far
Away , too People go to town once a week or once a month
3 The stations homes are very large because they have many purposes.
They must be big so visitors can sleep there . Houses also have large
Room to keep extra things Families buy a lot of food and supplies
In town.
4 Life in the Outback. Is different in Other ways . People get mail once
A week Children don’t go to school every day . They study with a school
Called the School of the Air. The teacher and student talk to each other
With a special radio. Most stations have an area for airplanes to land. It
Is like the station’s own airport. Sick people call the Royal Flying Doctor
Service . A doctor gives advice over the radio In an emergency the
Doctor picks up the sick people in an airplane Then they
go to the
Nearest hospital .
5 People in the Outback are careful when they travel .Before a farmer
Travels to town ,he tells a friend . The friend knows what time the farmer
Is coming . if the farmer is late his friend knows there is a problem. The
Friend will look for the farmer . People must know how to do many things.
They muss know how to fix their car if it breaks down. They always
Carry extra gasoline, water, and parts for their car.

Close to nature, and there are many unusual animals. You also have a lot of freedom.

Is like a ball , but it is flat. It slides on the ice . It is better to use a cold
Puck because it slides faster . Players put the puck in the freezer before a
Game In some games, players use more than thirty pucks!
