Gosnells Railway Markets
A community market since 1990 built around real steam locomotives and railway artefacts, known locally as the Gozzy Markets.
About this market
Gosnells Railway Markets opened in September 1990, filling a gap for a local, family-friendly shopping option in Perth's southern suburbs. More than three decades on, locals still call it by its nickname, the Gozzy Markets, and it's become a genuine community hub rather than just a place to pick up groceries.
Shopping alongside a real steam locomotive
What sets it apart from other general markets is the railway theme running through the whole site, and it's not just decorative. An actual steam locomotive and assorted railway artefacts sit throughout the market, turning a produce run into something closer to a free railway museum visit. Around 30-plus retail shops and 10 food outlets trade here alongside the fresh fruit and veg stalls.
Market at a glance
Reviewers describe a market that's stayed genuinely useful for everyday needs, from the grocery store and bakery to a barber and tattoo shop, backed by a large dedicated car park that makes even busy weekends manageable.
Gosnells Railway Markets doubles as an unofficial railway museum. A genuine steam locomotive and assorted railway artefacts are scattered through the site, free to see for anyone who's really just there for the fresh fruit and veg.
Good to know before you go
Trading runs Thursday through Sunday rather than the usual weekend-only pattern, giving more flexibility to fit around a work week. The food hall's later closing time, up to 8.30pm, makes it one of the few Perth markets worth considering for a dinner outing rather than just a morning shop.
