Charnley River–Artesian Range Wildlife Sanctuary

The Charnley River-Artesian Range spans 300,000 hectares of sandstone ranges, deep gorges, rainforest pockets, savannah woodlands, and inland wetlands in Western Australia.

The land transformed from Beverley Springs Station cattle operation to a conservation area when the Australian Wildlife Conservancy acquired it to protect native species.

The sanctuary borders the Wilinggin Indigenous Protected Area, connecting to the historical Munja Aboriginal Cattle Station where 700 Aboriginal people lived in 1927.

Located 43 kilometers north of Gibb River Road, the sanctuary provides camping facilities at 26.50 Australian dollars per night for adults including vehicle access.

The Artesian Range remains one of the few mainland Australian regions where no animal species have disappeared since European settlement began.
