Known for being one of the driest capital cities in Australia, Perth faces critical water scarcity, making borewater stains a defining feature of the suburban landscape. These stains, caused by the high iron content in the region's groundwater, can be seen on houses, bins, walls, and sports ovals, marking the spaces where childhood memories were made—where kids played sports and families gathered in their backyards. The presence of these stains reflect the environmental conditions that shape daily life.
