Charley Creek is a rural locality of the Shire of Donnybrook–Balingup in the South West region of Western Australia.[2][3]
Charley Creek and the Shire of Donnybrook–Balingup are located on the traditional land of the Wardandi people of the Noongar nation.[4][5][6]
Queenwood, adjacent to the north-west, was once a siding on the Donnybrook–Katanning railway, but the railway line ceased operation in 1982.[7][8] Queenwood's siding had a loading platform for fruit produced in the area,[9] but the location of the siding at Queenwood was not seen as ideal by local settlers, who would have preferred a location at Charley Creek instead and petitioned for constructing one there in the 1920s, even being willing to cover some of the cost themselves.[10] The main reason for the request was travel distances as it was claimed that the location of the siding at Queenwood only benefitted one farmer while it disadvantaged many others.[11]
