From the company that brought you Ain'tarctic, what would you expect.
A 'real' Outback theme could have...

1. The Aboriginal Mission: Even heavily juniorised elements can't keep the
housing upright. Willa the Witch is recycled into a 'Little Sisters of the
Culturally Imperialiing' minifig. A large roadtrain restocks the service
station with petrol and alcohol.

2. Former Nuclear Test Site: Sort of like Space Port, but with lots less
elements (not very good value for money).

3. Uranium Mine: Like Rock Raiders, but even more trans-glowing elements.
Comes complete with perimeter fence and protester minifigs.

4. Outback Pub: High alcohol intake and high speed motorsport. Comes with
Police pursuit vehicle and ambulance.

5. Backpacker Minifig Set: 5 Timmy minifigs with different coloured hair and
Adventurers Style Tent.
