Buckingham is a rural locality of the Shire of Collie in the South West region of Western Australia. At the south-western edge of the locality, south of the Coalfields Highway, it borders the large coal mines of the Collie area while the remainder of the locality is predominantly forested.[1] [2]
Buckingham and the north-eastern part of the Shire of Collie are located on the traditional land of the Wiilman people[3] [4] of the Noongar nation.[5]
The locality is home to eight heritage-listed locations, among them the former Buckingham Mill, the Muja Open Cut coal mine, the Buckingham Memorial Church and the Buckingham Family Residence.[6] The former mill and the Buckingham Family Residence date back to 1911, both belonging to the brothers Ernest and James Buckingham, who settled in the area that year.[7]
