Summary: We provide groupoid models for Toeplitz and Cuntz-Krieger algebras of topologica l higher-rank graphs. Extending groupoid models used in the theory of graph alge bras and topological dynamical systems to our setting, we prove results on essen tial freeness and amenability of the groupoids which capture the existing theory, and extend results involving group crossed products of graph algebras.
