The Never Never is the name of a vast, remote area of the Australian Outback[1] [2] [3], as described in Barcroft Boake's poem "Where the Dead Men Lie":
- Out on the wastes of the Never Never -
- That's where the dead men lie!
- There where the heat-waves dance forever -
- That's where the dead men lie![4]
