Geography

English term or phrase: backland

in a more general sense Sertão means the sparsely inhabited *backlands* of the interior of Brazil. It is the equivalent of the Australian outback.

Io ho tradotto “ In senso più generale sertão indica le regioni scarsamente abitate dell’interno del Brasile. Rappresenta l’equivalente del termine australiano outback _ entroterra" Ma cosa significa esattamente backlands? Non lo trovo nei miei dizionari! Grazie
