About Cox Peninsula
Cox Peninsula is a locality in the Northern Territory of Australia located on the Cox Peninsula and adjoining land about 28 kilometres (17 mi) south-west of the territorial capital of Darwin. Cox Peninsula consists of land both on the Cox Peninsula and its immediate south and which is located within the cadastral units of the hundreds of Bray and Parsons, but does not included land within the two local government areas established on the peninsula, the Belyuen Shire and Wagait Shire. The locality is named after the Cox Peninsula which itself is named after Matthew Dillon Cox, a pastoralist who applied in 1869 for a lease over the entire peninsula.
