| A large part of the interior of Australia is made up of the Western Plateau, a vast arid tableland covering most of Western Australia, South Australia, the Northern Territory and part of Queensland. The landscape is generally flat, but it is interrupted by some spectacular features like Uluru and the Kata Tjuta, and rugged ridges like those of the Macdonnell, Flinders, and Hamersley ranges. Rainfall is minimal and irregular and the climate is extreme with intense heat in summer and freezing temperatures in winter. Most of the plateau is uninhabited or very thinly populated with a density of just one person per hundreds of kilometers. |
