Camberwell, Victoria


My Daughter was competing in dance competitions in Camberwell, Victoria recently. I had a chance to sneak out and sample some of the local restaurants which have been excellent to date. Just on sunset this old school No. 888 looked so relaxed nestle in pleasant gardens that I had to snap it for prosperity.

Camberwell is a very old metropolitan suburb and there are many unique examples of early Victorian architecture. Many houses around this area are large and stately and it is quite expense to live here. Not only is the period architecture interesting but the main street, Burke Street, has some fabulous restaurants and shops. Not hard to spend a day here and if you enjoy good food and fine dining you could go home a kilo or two heavier-I did.
