Now, I don't know the song and it may help to know what comes after those lines and this explanation may be a little far fetched, but .........If you think of the Australian outback as being very big, and another way of saying "very big" is "GREAT" and as the outback vitually contains a whole lot of nothing and another way of saying that is "F*CK ALL" then it could read as:
not much in the Great F*ck All but a pile of rusty sand.
Then again, I haven't got a clue.
