“Outback” refers to land with a natural ruggedness. Though people come here seeking independence, they know each other’s first names. Community is paramount. Jonathan Nicholas, the publisher of the Oregonian, said it is “a star-spangled landscape of marsh and mountain, of reflection and rimrock, of seamless vistas and sage-scented dreams.”
