The
Top End of
Australia's Northern Territory is a geographical region encompassing the northernmost section of the Northern Territory, which is the second northernmost part of the Australian continent. It covers a rather vaguely defined area of perhaps behind the northern coast from the
Northern Territory capital of
Darwin across to
Arnhem Land with the
Indian Ocean on the west, the
Arafura Sea to the north, and the
Gulf of Carpentaria to the east, and with the almost waterless semi-arid interior of Australia to the south, beyond the huge
Kakadu National Park.
