The road
Bubble Bubble Axxess Track sits in the Victoria River region near Gregory National Park - one of the Northern Territory's most spectacular and least-visited landscapes. The 8-kilometre track crosses tropical savanna with creek crossings that may hold crocodiles. The Victoria River drainage has carved deep red gorges through the sandstone escarpment country and the surrounding savanna holds extraordinary bird diversity. A snorkel is strongly recommended for the water crossings. The difficulty is moderate but the RRI of 6.0 is elevated due to the extreme remoteness - Kalkarindji (formerly Wave Hill) is the nearest significant settlement. Gregory National Park adjacent to the track protects gorge and limestone country that rivals Kakadu for geological drama but sees a fraction of the visitors.
Bubble Bubble Axxess Track sits in the Victoria River region near Gregory National Park - one of the Northern Territory's most spectacular and least-visited landscapes.
Why this road
The region
The Victoria River drainage and Gregory National Park form one of the Northern Territory's most spectacular landscapes - deep red gorges, tropical savanna and the largest cattle station country in Australia. The Victoria River itself is renowned for barramundi fishing and saltwater crocodile populations. The track name references a local geographic feature in the region's sandstone escarpment country.
Before you go
