Geography

Buckingham is in the Channel Country. Wills Creek and Makbut Creek pass through the north-east of the locality from the north (Dajarra) to the east (Warenda). All watercourses in this area are part of the Lake Eyre drainage basin,[3] and most will dry up before their water reaches Lake Eyre.[4]

The Boulia Mount Isa Highway passes through the locality from the north (Dajarra) to the south (Georgina).[3]

The predominant land use is grazing on native vegetation.[3]

Education

There are no schools in Buckingham. The nearest primary schools are in Dajarra and Boulia.[3] The nearest secondary schools are located in Mount Isa and Winton and are both too far for a daily commute.[3] The Spinifex State College in Mount Isa offers boarding facilities.[5] Other boarding schools or distance education would be options.
