Ross

I believe the answer is:

darwin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'famous biologist' is the first definition.
'Darwin' can be an answer for 'biologist' (Darwin is an example). I am unsure of the 'famous' bit.

'in northern territory' is the second definition.
('Darwin' is part of 'northern territory')

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for darwin that I've seen before include "Man of note" , "Aussie city" , "Author of On the Origin of Species, d.1882" , "Great naturalist who proposed evolution" , "Originator of the theory of evolution" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
