The history of Flaxley is intertwined with the early agricultural endeavours of the Mount Barker region, where settlers sought fertile ground for farming and grazing.

Remnants of older stone farmhouses dot the landscape, whispering stories of generations who worked this soil, and the rhythm of daily life is dictated by the seasons and the needs of the livestock, a steady, unhurried pulse that defines the character of Flaxley.
