Judbarra / Gregory National Park

Judbarra / Gregory National Park is an expansive nature reserve in Northern Territory featuring red cliffs, gorges, river systems, and savanna woodlands spread across diverse landscapes. The park encompasses multiple distinct terrain types that visitors can explore throughout their visit.

The park was established as a national reserve in 1990 and renamed with its dual designation in 2011 to acknowledge traditional Aboriginal ownership and stewardship. This renaming reflected growing recognition of the land's cultural significance to its first peoples.

Rock shelters throughout the park display Aboriginal artworks created using painting, stenciling, and pecking techniques that tell stories of the original inhabitants. Visitors walking through these areas can observe how the traditional owners expressed their connection to this land through art.

Plan your visit around seasonal variations, as some areas may be restricted during certain weather conditions, particularly during the wet season. Check conditions before arriving to understand which trails and zones will be accessible during your time there.

The park is home to Solanum scalarium, a bush tomato species discovered in 2018 that exists nowhere else on Earth. This plant demonstrates how the reserve protects unique ecosystems found only within these boundaries.
