Dear Parents,

I am writing this letter to know if everyone is well at home and to help you discover the life I live in the Australian outback.

The Outback is divided up into territories that include Ayers Rock, Alice Springs, Palm Valley, King Canyon, West MacDonnell Ranges and The Olgas.

Inhabited by less than 60,000 people, and 2.5 million square miles the Outback doesn't really have an exact location, it is summed up as the wide open space in inland Australia.

Though this is a barren land with most roads made of dirt, this is the place to get away from the hustle of city life and visit a land that has changed little over the centuries.

In addition to weather hazards, the animals of the Outback have a lot of free grazing area and most cattle ranches are unfenced leaving these bovines to wander freely along the roads. Locals and visitors find more then cattle wandering around as this land is full of wildlife including kangaroos, donkeys, camels and wild horses.

Drivers should beware after twilight as this is the time most of these animals will be roaming.

Tourism with the Aboriginal ranger is an industry where Aboriginal people can use the intimate knowledge of their land to introduce international tourists to their culture and customs. This creates Aboriginal jobs and satisfies the large appetite of overseas visitors for an “authentic” Aboriginal experience.

The experiences range from organised tours to performances of dance, the purchase of

traditional Aboriginal artefacts and an opportunity to stay on Aboriginal land to experience the daily lives of Aboriginal people.

Within the Aboriginal community, tourism is seen as a practical, important way to provide an

economic base to ensure that communities prosper and that Aboriginal heritage is supported.

Here's an excerpt from what I saw every day in this beautiful country of Australia. I miss you a lot, I embrace you . Your daughter who loves you.
