The Northrn Territory, Arnhem Land and Kakadu are three of the areas of Oz that I, personally, would most like to explore.
Not sure about living anywhere round there, though. I come from a very large family and Mum is one of the "babies" so I have first cousins who are easily 30 years older than me and I am now 51.
One cousin is a retired dentist. They lived and worked in Darwin till the typhoon flattened it some years ago. By then, their children had moved to Melbourne and Frank had retired so they followed their children to Melbourne rather than cope with rebuilding Darwin.
If you are interested in that part of Oz - which I think is quite sparsely-populated and is certainly remote - I would suggest a holiday/rekkie visit before you try to develop any firm plans.
Please also consult the climatology section of the Australian Burreau of Met website, I would suggest:
