Charnley River Station (Charnley River–Artesian Range Sanctuary)
Charnley River Station
A former cattle station converted into a wildlife sanctuary campground, with rock pools for swimming at nearby Grevillea Gorge, Dilly Gorge and other spots.
Charnley River Station lies about 45 km north of the Gibb River Road. It was once a cattle station and is now managed by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy as a sanctuary, with a campground open to visitors. From camp, you can drive to Grevillea Gorge (about 20 minutes' walk to a waterfall and rock pool), Dilly Gorge, the Charnley River rock pools and other sites. Crowds are few and the setting is wild, and you may spot rare small marsupials and birds. A four-wheel-drive vehicle is needed. Confirm opening status and entry fees in advance.
