I explored such a place for some months, whilst living in the New Zealand outback.

They live inland.

Since the bigger cities have the most universities, their expansion will draw youngsters from the hinterland to the metropolis.

I received the last you sent on by the merest chance, and after considerable delay through being inland; or I might have come sooner.

The locals seem to be cursed with an insatiable yen for the unknown and they bend to it willingly, fleeing for weeks, months even, into that vast spot in the middle called the outback.
