What Is Located on 95% of Empty Australia?

Описание: Australia looks empty. It isn't.
The sixth largest country on Earth contains only 28 million people — all of them crowded into a narrow coastal strip, leaving 95% of the continent virtually untouched. But calling that 95% "empty" is one of geography's great misconceptions. What actually fills the Australian interior is more complex, more ancient, and more economically vital than most people ever learn.
This documentary investigation reveals what truly occupies the vast Australian Outback — from the planetary-scale atmospheric mechanics that created the desert, to the extraordinary wildlife that evolved to survive it, to the trillion-dollar mineral wealth buried beneath its surface. We go inside the world's oldest continuously inhabited land, where Aboriginal communities have managed one of Earth's last intact wilderness ecosystems for over 65,000 years using techniques that modern science is only now beginning to validate.
What you'll discover in this video:
The 3,500-kilometer weather wall that locks moisture out of the Australian interior
Why the Outback is among the 10% of Earth's biomes least touched by humans
How a small underground town produces 70% of the world's entire opal supply
The mineral reserves that make Australia's "empty" land the foundation of its entire economy
Why the world's oldest living civilization chose this desert — and never left
What climate change is doing to a continent already defined by extremes
In 2023 alone, Australia's mining exports exceeded AU$343 billion — virtually all of it extracted from the land that no one wants to live on. The story of the Australian Outback is the story of how little we understand about the world beyond our cities.
