About Osmington
Osmington is a small rural locality in the Shire of Augusta-Margaret River, situated approximately 20 kilometres north-east of Margaret River in Western Australia's renowned South West wine region. Covering around 34.5 square kilometres, the area was established under the Group Settlement Scheme in the early 20th century as settlers cleared land for farming. With a 2021 Census population of 163 residents, Osmington remains a quiet farming community characterised by rural vineyards, mixed farmland, and hobby properties.
Osmington sits within the broader Margaret River wine region, one of Australia's most celebrated wine-producing areas, and the locality's rural blocks include a number of private vineyards and properties. While Osmington itself has minimal services, Margaret River town — just 20 kilometres to the south-west — offers a vibrant village atmosphere with restaurants, cafes, galleries, boutique shops, and well-regarded schools. Perth is approximately 280 kilometres north, reachable by car in around 3 hours via the Bussell Highway.
Osmington falls under postcode 6285 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Warren-Blackwood (South West) electorate.
