Buckingham is an outback locality in the Shire of Boulia, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Buckingham had "no people or a very low population".[1]
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]
