The Burbs
The Burbs: A Visual Journey Through the Australian Suburbs
Kim Walvisch
A charming photographic collection of the houses, plants, cars and pets that define our Australian suburbs.
Take a trip to the heart of suburbia through the lens of @sublurb as she captures the icons that define our neighbourhoods.
From the humble weatherboard to a postwar brick veneer, ornate iron gates to the faded signage of a once-busy corner store, 'The Burbs' takes us on a nostalgic journey through the streets where we grew up and the places we call home.
About the Author:
Kim Walvisch has been steadfastly documenting Melbourne suburbia for the past five years. Having taken photos in more than 100 suburbs, she has created a nostalgic archive of how things looked before the takeover of development.
