Geography

The ecoregion lies in the central Northern Territory, extending into northeastern Western Australia. It forms a transition between the tropical savannas of northern Australia and the Australia's interior deserts. It is bounded on the northwest and north by the Kimberley tropical savanna, on the northeast and east by the Carpentaria tropical savanna, and on the southeast by the Mitchell Grass Downs. The Great Sandy-Tanami desert ecoregion lies to the south.

The ecoregion encompasses the Ord Victoria Plain and Sturt Plateau IBRA regions.

Protected areas in the ecoregion include Purnululu National Park, and the eastern and southern portions of Gregory National Park.
