Location in Western Australia

Carlton Hill Station is a pastoral lease and cattle station located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Situated approximately 39 kilometres (24 mi) to the north-west of Kununurra and 44 kilometres (27 mi) east of Wyndham, the station covers an area of 3,675 square kilometres (1,419 sq mi).^[1]

The property lies on the land of the Gajirrawoong and Miriwung peoples, whose native title was recognised by the Federal Court of Australia in 2006.^[2]

The property is split in two by the Ord River as it flows from Lake Argyle to the Cambridge Gulf. A neighbouring property is Ivanhoe Station, which is also owned by the Consolidated Pastoral Company.^{[citation needed]}

The alluvial flats and black soil plains support rich stands of couch and buffel, which make good grazing feed. Carlton Hill and Ivanhoe Station are able to support 50,000 head of cattle, including 18,000 Brahman breeders. The station is able to turn out 9,000 steers per annum for live export to Asia and the Middle East.^{[citation needed]}
