DESTINATION: Gregory NP

Just out of town is the Northern Territory's second-largest national park - Gregory - which showcases the transition zone between the Territory's tropical and semi-arid regions.

It should top the Territory's hidden-treasure list for its scenery and landscapes - heavenly gorges, amazing sandstone formations and escarpments, monsoon rainforests, eucalyptus bush, clumps of yellow spinifex and unusual boab trees.


Main Attractions

Main attractions in Gregory NP Park include significant traces of Aboriginal culture, European exploration and pastoral history. You'll get the most out of exploring this area with a four-wheel drive (some of the sites are only accessible in a 4x4) and your walking boots for the picturesque trails

Lying 310km from Darwin, Katherine is a centre for beef-cattle properties, produce farms and the Tindal RAAF Base. Katherine is also the gateway to Nitmiluk National Park. Renowned Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park, 29km SE, can be viewed by canoe, flat-bottomed tour boat, scenic flight or helicopter. Edith Falls, 62km to the north, is also in Nitmiluk National Park and worth a visit. more
