It is a Mexican Independence Day, heavily celebrated in the US, and hardly at all in Mexico. No, I know it makes little
sense, but there it is.
Flyover? as in not worth getting off the plane?
Yup
As in 95% of Oz desert?
As in, in this US usage, anything between the Appalachian mountains and their extensions in the East and the Cascade and
Sierra Nevada ranges in the west. There are those who would claim it only extends west to where the prairies end, just
before Denver and other deviations. This might give you a sense of it.

Boreal = anything north of the equator as far as i'm concerned.
"The term /boreal/ is applied to ecosystems with a subarctic climate in the Northern hemisphere, approximately between
latitude 45° to 65° North."
Opposite of Austral.
"... of or relating to the Southern hemisphere."
So not exactly right in a technical sense, but OK.
