Buckingham lies cradled by the softly rolling hills that characterise this part of the Shire of Collie, where the land slopes gently towards the meandering waterways. It lies 65.6 km east of Bunbury, WA (from Bunbury, WA: bearing 94°T), and is situated 18.2 km east of Collie. Gum trees, their bark peeling in papery strips, stand sentinel over scattered paddocks of emerald green, punctuated by the deeper hues of native scrub. The air here carries a faint, sweet perfume of eucalypt and dry earth, particularly potent in the late afternoon when the sun begins its descent, casting long, languid shadows that stretch and warp across the landscape. A quiet hum of insect life forms the constant, unobtrusive soundtrack to this place, a gentle reminder of the wildness that still holds sway just beyond the cultivated fields.
Historically, Buckingham’s fortunes have been tied to the land and its resources, a narrative etched into the very character of the place. Early settlers, drawn by the promise of fertile soil, established farms and grazing properties, their efforts shaping the patterns of cultivation that still define the surrounding countryside. While agriculture remains a quiet backbone, the echoes of a more vigorous past, perhaps linked to the broader industrial heritage of the region, can still be felt in the sturdy, unpretentious architecture of some older buildings. Travellers passing through might notice the distinctive, almost earthy scent that clings to the air after a rain, a subtle perfume of damp soil and ancient trees, a sensory signature unique to Buckingham.
