As an Australian (who has worked in some of those areas) do you have any idea how inhospitable those areas are? Do you know the life expectancy of somebody without the required bushcraft is about 6 hours? I worked at one mine site where they just told us NOT to go past the perimeter which was just marked by a piece of rope suspended at waist height with small posts. They told us at the induction beyond that point your life expectancy rapidly drops to zero. Beyond sight of the mine we were told maybe 6hours. They said the only chance would be trackers from our first nations people and they'd take at least 4 hours to organise and start. There's a sort of joke people say out there "If it bites it can kill you!" Even if we could get water to those regions the soil quality is so poor it would need vast amounts of fertilizer to work. The freakiest idea anyone ever had was to build (yes build) a mile high mountain range across the right part and it would create the weather for rain and rivers.
