Hello everybody! Underworld alts seem like the new big thing, starting with @Izzabelle's River, and then @SzGamer227's Brimstone alt, which is actually surprising since I thought he doesn't really believe in non-alt spreading biomes. Finally, @Snickerbobble made one called the Depths. I understand that this trend is completely coincidental considering Snicker started his work on this last year and I'm pretty sure I saw Sz's alt in SRT before Izzabelle posted her River, but it seems like a trend. And that's all I need.
So, as you may have seen in my disclaimer (and if you didn't, please read it. I don't want Australians to get offended), I had an idea to make the alternate Underworld based on China because of that myth about digging all the way to China. But halfway through I realized that Baconfry had already made a Chinese biome! (not that I hadn't heard of it, it just didn't occur to me) I didn't have any ideas that would differentiate me from his alt, so I went with the next best thing: Australia. Unlike China, Australia is actually on the other side of the world from the United States, and it seemed like it would have a lot of interesting stuff, so here we go!
Envionment
The Outback, unlike the Underworld, does not have a liquid to sink into, due to the 4 liquid limit (the 4th one was scrapped for now, but still, I wouldn't want to waste it). Instead, it has a few things that give the hazard of lava, but without wasting the fourth liquid. These will be explained later on. Since there is no liquid, the terrain is different: The Outback is flat like the Desert biome on the surface, with only 1-block elevation changes and stuff like that. Veins of Yellowblock, the ore, are exposed to the surface, and can be a threat to anyone who does not have an Obsidian Skull or jumping accessories. The houses are not like the Ruined Houses, instead only being 1 story high and just as big as 1 story of the Ruined Houses. These "shacks" are made of Eucalyptus Wood, with furniture to match and sometimes Sand-Covered Chests spawn on the top. These can contain some cool loot, but can only be unlocked with a Sand Shovel, which turns it into a regular Chest. Small islands of Red Sand spawn above the plateau, containing small stubby Eucalyptus Trees, and "watering holes", about as small as Sky Lakes, dot the outer thirds where no shacks are present.
There is a dynamic background like the new 1.3 Underworld, but it is an open background with rolling hills and eucalyptus trees. Unlike the Underworld, the Outback has a day and night cycle. This cycle is the reverse of the one on the surface; when it is night in the Outback, it is daytime on the Surface and vice versa. Like the surface, there are different mobs during the day and night, but unlike the surface they are equally hard. The various fauna will come out at different times of the day and at night, you can summon the dreaded Ursa Major!

Now, onto the new enemies, gear and blocks!

Red Sand
Found: In the flat areas of the Outback, and small islands above the main area.

If you trash your Teddy Bear and overwrite it while in the Outback at night, you summon the Ursa Major. This boss looks like a giant bear hidden in the shadows, and will still chase you when daytime comes. It starts from one edge of the world and travels to the other, like the Wall of Flesh. The only part you can hurt is the head. While Ursa Major is charging at you, it has 2 attack patterns:

After getting to 4500 health, the Ursa Major's eyes turn red, and it dashes almost instantaneously to the other side of you.

Its defense will drop to 0 during this phase. After defeating it, you get these drops:
