Life in the Australian Outback Jensen

Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,7, University of Hannover (Philosophische Fakultät), course: Academic Writing and Research, language: English, abstract: The Australian outback is a reckless place to live in. It does not compromise but has to be taken the way it is: rugged, hot and dry. Still, there are people who chose to rather come to terms with all the difficulties of living in such a rough place, than moving to the comfort of the city. This paper aims to show how some of these difficulties, being education problems, insufficient healthcare and loneliness, are overcome, and why there are people who still prefer this lifestyle over the easier way of living in the city.
