Journey South-West/Gregory National Park Part I

FF
The Park was named in honour of Augustus Gregory, a pioneer, who in 1854 led an eighteen-person expedition, which spent six months exploring the Victoria River District before heading east to Brisbane. Land excised from cattle stations in 1990 created the park. At the core of Gregory National Park is the former Bullita Outstation. (Land from nearby Victoria River Downs, Humbert River, Delamere, Auvergne, and Innesvale were also excised to create the national park.)
