To the east is the Cape York Peninsula.
The area to the south (like the Cape York Peninsula, part of Queensland) is known as the "Gulf Country" or simply "the Gulf."

 Articles - Cape York Peninsula   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Cape York Peninsula is approximately 137,000 km² in total (which is larger than either Greece or England), but with a population of only about 18,000.
Climatically, Cape York Peninsula is monsoonal, with a wet season extending from November to April and a dry season from May to October.
Although much of the Cape is sparsely populated, there are settlements at Cooktown, Lakeland, Laura, Coen, and Weipa, and Aboriginal communities at Wujal Wujal, Hopevale, Lockhart River, Injinoo, New Mapoon, Umagico, Old Mapoon, Napranum, Aurukun, Pormparaaw, and Kowanyama.

 Moieties - Art and Aboriginal society - Aboriginal Art Online
Named matrilineal moieties are recorded in only a few regions: eastern Australia, south of the Gulf of Capentaria; east of Lakes Eyre and Gairdner; around Perth; and western Arnhem Land.
Patrilineal moieties are more common and are found in the northern Kimberley, around Daly River, in much of eastern Northern Territory and north east Arnhem Land, in Cape York Peninsula, formerly in a small isolated region in south central Victoria, and possibly in a small area around Albany WA.
Generational moieties are commonly found in the desert regions of Australia and are important in the organisation of ritual life.
