WELCOME<br />
Posting season is almost over, so we’d like to welcome<br />
all those arriving into the Northern Territory, as well<br />
as welcoming back those who get to enjoy another<br />
year here in the <strong>Top</strong> End.<br />
Without the DCO Welcome Expo this year, we’ve<br />
focused this edition of the <strong>Top</strong> <strong>Ender</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> on<br />
introducing you to our Defence community. We have<br />
some exciting competitions, interesting feature articles<br />
and of course, lots of essential information to help you<br />
get the most out of life in the NT.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Top</strong> <strong>Ender</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> aims to support the Defence<br />
community through community houses, fundraising<br />
activities and more. If you have ideas to help Defence<br />
organisations, support networks and build stronger<br />
relationships with our community, come along to our<br />
next committee meeting!<br />
