The Top End, though less frequently visited and less well-known overseas than the arid southern part of the Northern Territory (referred to by Australians as the ''Centre'' and the largest town of which is Alice Springs ), contains nearly all of the Territory's major towns, including Darwin , Katherine , Pine Creek , Palmerston and Mataranka . The transition from the lush, steamy tropical environment of the north to the semi-arid Mulga scrubs, Mallee , and Sand Dune s of the centre is gradual, and the demarcation line that divides the Top End from the centre is arbitrary. |
