About Buntine
Buntine is a remote rural locality in Western Australia's northern wheatbelt, situated approximately 60 kilometres north of Dalwallinu within the Shire of Dalwallinu. Covering around 572 square kilometres of broad-acre cereal farming and pastoral country, it had a 2021 Census population of approximately 51 residents. The locality is characteristic of WA's mid-wheatbelt, where wheat and barley production on flat to gently undulating red sandy loam soils stretches across the vast agricultural landscape.
Dalwallinu is the nearest service town, known as the Wildflower Capital of the World during spring, when the surrounding wheatbelt bursts into spectacular wildflower displays. The Great Northern Highway passes through the broader region, connecting the wheatbelt to Perth and the Midwest. Buntine suits those with a deep connection to WA's wheatbelt farming lifestyle, where the seasonal rhythms of seeding, harvest, and the spectacular wildflower season define the community calendar.
Buntine falls under postcode 6613 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Moore (Agricultural) electorate.
