Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -With low humidity and very little light pollution, the Outback is one of the best places in the world for stargazing. Astronomers enjoy uninterrupted views of constellations, planets and stars, as well as stunning views of Aurora Australis-the Southern Lights.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term “Outback, ‘’ or “the bush, ‘’ defines any part of Australia removed from the more-settled edges of the continent. In other words, it is “out back” from the larger cities that reside on Australia’s coasts. The Outback is typified as arid or semiarid, open land, often undeveloped.

Detailed explanation-3: -So why do people live in the outback at all? The most obvious reason to keep living in the bush is to feed a family. People who have learnt nothing but farming want to earn their money that way, too. Especially when two of the biggest industries in Australia are wool and meat production (Coppell 438-43).
