You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets — plus a labelled MGA grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Buckingham, Western Australia, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views.

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Buckingham.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

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.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct Buckingham is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
