Charnley River–Artesian Range Wildlife Sanctuary is a protected area covering about 3,000 square kilometres (1,200 sq mi) in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

Formerly known as the Beverley Springs Station, and covering an area of 3,000 square kilometres (1,158 sq mi), the property was acquired in 1969 by the Nixon family in a run-down state.

The two sons, Matt and Russell, discovered an unknown species of pitcher plant on the property, going on to be botanists specialising in the Kimberley region.

[3] In 2010 the property was bought by Peter and Cheryl Camp, who renamed it the Charnley River Station, ran a herd of approximately 3,000 cattle,[4] and built up its tourism potential.

The cattle are not allowed to roam freely over important ecological areas such as the river systems, and the AWC works on controlling feral animals and weeds throughout the sanctuary.

The WA Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions owns the other 37,000 hectares (91,000 acres), managed by the Parks and Wildlife Service in partnership with AWC.

[10] Around 700 Aboriginal people were based around this location in 1927, which was initially government-run before being transferred to the Presbyterian Church in 1940, although negotiations were not completed until 1949 owing to World War II.
