Remote and sparsely populated inland region (7)

I believe the answer is:

outback

(Other definitions for outback that I've seen before include "Aussie interior" , "Remote land in Australia" , "Remote part of Australia" , "wild place" , "Australian bush country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
