My name is John and after a chronic aversion to commitment marked by ten itinerant years around the world, I finally grew up.

In 2013 I purchased the cheapest off-the-plan apartment I could find within 8km from the centre of Perth off Hutton Street in Osborne Park. Since then I’ve been discovering my new neighbourhood’s traditional Italian market gardens, newly arrived Australians and a plethora of local businesses.

Confused by the perception that I was living on a market garden or in an industrial warehouse I decided to showcase the place I live.

This site showcases photos of Osborne Park and wants to develop a shared sense of community identity through the ‘Osborne Park Collective’. Please email me your photos. Come visit us some time.. for more than just furniture shopping.
