The primary economic activity of the Australian Outback is:
- raising livestock.
The vast, arid areas of the Outback are primarily suited for extensive grazing, which is why raising sheep and cattle is one of the predominant uses of the land. Mining mineral resources is also significant in some areas, as the Outback contains rich deposits of minerals like iron ore and gold, but on the whole, raising livestock is more widespread across the region. Agriculture, in the traditional sense of crop farming, is limited due to the harsh climate and soil conditions. Industry in the outback is generally tied to the processing of these primary resources or support services for these activities.
