About 1914 photos show the Buckland farm making use of horses to drill seed for oats, for pulling a heavy 2-horse dray (cart )when harvesting wheat and oats and for pulling a light 2-wheeled buggy called a phaeton (possibly better described as a gig). The large 2-story Buckland homestead which had a deep verandah on both sides had a large barn for hay, a pigsty, milksheds and lean-to where the buggy was stored. About 1910 a bullock team was used to pull logs from a pine plantation from Eastern Beach A few remaining trees from the plantation still exist on the steep slope to the north of the soccer fields at Vic Rogers Park.
