About Judbarra / Gregory National Park
Judbarra / Gregory National Park is Australia's second-largest national park, covering 13,000 sq km in the Northern Territory's Victoria Daly region southwest of Katherine. Straddling the Victoria Highway, it is notable for its rugged ranges, deep gorges, limestone escarpments and the Victoria River. Jointly managed with Traditional Owners, it protects extensive boab forests, Aboriginal rock art and historic pastoral sites.
