Win one of 12 of the Paper Pocket Group’s most popular calendars – Outback Australia. To win, answer the below:

We all love the outback but how did the outback get its name? Your challenge in 50 words or less is to tell us the story…

The best 12 answers will get a free calendar. We love these calendars as they make you see the country that you love in a new light. The photography is evocative and will leave you feeling inspired.

We are pushing this game out to 2,000 friends of Progress Puzzles in AU and will cut it off and award prizes once we have reached everyone, or 1 week from now whichever happens sooner. Who has the best story? Check back for more prizes.
