Outback refers to land with a natural ruggedness. Though people come here seeking independence, they know each other s first names. Community is paramount. Jonathan Nicholas, publisher of the Oregonian, said it is a star-spangled landscape of marsh and mountain, of reflection and rim rock, of seamless vistas and sage-scented dreams.
