Mount Gibson Sanctuary, Nature reserve in Western Australia, Australia

Mount Gibson Sanctuary spans 131,812 hectares at the intersection of the central wheatbelt and Murchison regions, featuring woodlands, salt lakes, and granite formations.

The land transformed from a pastoral lease for sheep grazing established in 1915 to a protected sanctuary acquired by Australian Wildlife Conservancy in 2001.

The sanctuary stands on the traditional territories of the Badimia people and now serves as a center for environmental research and wildlife preservation.

The Quartz Ridge campground provides basic facilities for visitors between May and September, with a maximum capacity of 25 people or eight vehicles.

The sanctuary contains a 7,838-hectare area enclosed by a 43-kilometer fence, creating the largest feral-free zone in mainland Western Australia.
