Where Is North on a Map of Australia?

On any standard map, north is at the top—this holds true for Australia as well. Because Australia lies entirely in the Southern Hemisphere, its northern regions (like the Top End of the Northern Territory and Far North Queensland) are closer to the equator, while its southern regions (like Tasmania and Victoria) are closer to the South Pole. So, "north" on an Australian map points toward the equator, not away from it.
