It lies 67.6 km east-north-east of Ellenbrook, WA (from Ellenbrook, WA: bearing 68°T), and is situated 13.5 km north-north-west of Northam. The land here is a mosaic of broad, cultivated fields, their colours shifting with the seasons from the pale gold of ripening wheat to the deep green of winter pastures, interspersed with stands of native bushland that cling to the slight rises. The horizon is a clean, unbroken line, often painted with the dramatic hues of a Western Australian sunset, and the silence, when it descends, is profound, broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the rustle of wind through the sparse trees.
The history of Buckland is intrinsically tied to the cultivation of the land, a story etched into the very character of the place. For generations, this region has been a breadbasket, its economy built upon the hardy grains that thrive in its climate, a tradition that continues to shape the rhythm of life, with the seasonal cycle of planting and harvest dictating the pulse of its small population. The remnants of older farmsteads, weathered by sun and wind, whisper tales of the early settlers who carved a life from this country, their resilience echoing in the enduring spirit of Buckland. This quiet persistence, a dedication to the earth and its bounty, defines the enduring appeal of Buckland, a place that offers a profound sense of continuity amidst the ever-changing world.
