About Gregory
Gregory is a vast, remote locality in the Northern Territory's Victoria River region, within the federal electorate of Lingiari and the Katherine state electorate. Covering an extraordinary 15,509 square kilometres — roughly the size of a small European country — it recorded a population of just 107 at the 2021 Census. The postcode area has a median taxable income of $32,801, reflecting the outback pastoral and Indigenous community character of the region.
The locality takes its name from the explorer Augustus Gregory, who traversed the Victoria River region in 1855–56. Gregory sits within the broader landscape surrounding Judbarra/Gregory National Park, the Northern Territory's second-largest national park at 13,000 square kilometres, renowned for its dramatic sandstone gorges, ancient Aboriginal rock art, and remote bush camping. The Victoria Highway passes through the region, connecting Katherine to the Western Australian border, and the area's vast cattle stations and rugged bushland make it a destination for outback adventurers and four-wheel-drive enthusiasts.
Gregory falls under postcode 852 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Katherine electorate.
