澳大利亚内陆有哪些好玩的？

If you visit Australia, you may go to Sydney. But Sydney is not the only interesting place in the country. There is also the outback (澳大利亚内陆).

       Australia is a very big country. But not many people live there. So there is lots of empty space. In Australia, people call this area the outback.

The outback is in the middle of Australia. There is a lot to see. The most famous thing is Uluru, or Ayers Rock (艾尔斯岩). It is a beautiful big rock. It is sacred (神圣的) to the aboriginals (澳洲土著) in the area.
