Back of Bourke

A long way away; Australian slang.

Bourke is practically the back of Bourke, from where I live.

Out the back of Bourke

Australian expression which means any place which is remote or inconvinient. Based on an actual place west NSW which is an extremely hot country town known for cotton farming and dust storms.

Where the hell is that place?

It's out the back of Bourke...
