Gregory National Park is the Northern Territory's second largest National Park, encompassing spectacular ranges, escarpments, gorges and eucalypt woodlands. A drive through the eastern section of the park along the Victoria Highway will reveal some of these landscapes while the easily accessed walks near the Victoria River Roadhouse provide close up experiences of the dramatic sandstone escarpment. These are the 3 kilometre return Escarpment Walk and rocky 1.7 kilometre Nawulbinbin (Joe Creek) Loop Walk. Also near the roadhouse is boat access to the Victoria River.
Distinctive Boab Trees occur throughout the park but are particularly striking in the limestone landscapes that can only be reached by four-wheel drive vehicles. The western section of the park extends from the sub tropical zone in the north to the semi-arid zone in the south.
Bullita Homestead is the furthest south that two wheel drive vehicles can venture (high clearance recommended) and includes a historic homestead and stockyards where you can find out more about the park's nature, culture and history. Gregory's Tree is another historic site that is two wheel drive accessible. A network of remote four wheel drive tracks for those who are well-equipped and well prepared is open usually during May and November. Call before you travel for up to date information.
There also are plenty of opportunities for fishing and camping. Commercial boat tours and scenic flights are available from the Victoria River Roadhouse and Timber Creek.
