SUPPORTING EMERGENCY CARE IN KENYA

The fun of the Sunday market generates funds to support Rotary projects in Australia and internationally.

Balwyn Rotary recently contributed $50,000 to support the Emergency Medicine Kenya Foundation (EMKF) — an inspiring initiative working to ensure that everyone in Kenya has access to quality emergency medical care when they need it most.

Through training, advocacy, and system development, EMKF is transforming how emergency care is delivered — equipping hospitals, first responders, and communities to save lives every day.

The donation will help expand access to critical emergency services, train healthcare professionals, and strengthen Kenya’s emergency response systems and a great example of how the Camberwell Sunday Market is contributing so much more that a regular ‘flea market.’

Happy World Piano Day

This week we celebrate World Piano Day, thanks to Balwyn Rotary and Pianos Recycled, with a century old piano, from New York, available for public use. We hope to hear a few tunes every Sunday, however the piano is available for free use all week at Camberwell Junction’s Fresh Food Market.

Meet Pigella: An upright Victor piano, made in New York around 1920 for W. H. Paling & Co. She has travelled through families and generations, most recently cared for in Emerald, before finding her way here. Named by our French piano tuner, Pigella continues her journey of music and joy. Please treat her kindly.

This piano was sourced from
Pianos Recycled and proudly donated by
Rotary Balwyn.

The Camberwell Fresh Food Market is located at 519–525 Riversdale Road, Camberwell VIC 3124 and the piano can be found near delicious offerings of Pieno di Cambi.

Camberwell Junction is of course just near Burke Road, and easily accessible by tram, train, or car.

Hot Jam Donuts

Every Sunday morning in Melbourne’s east, the Camberwell Sunday Market transforms the car park at the corner of Market Place and Station Street into a buzzing hub of bargain hunters, treasure seekers, collectors and food lovers. Operating since 1976 under the Rotary Club of Balwyn, this iconic flea-style market has long been a place to uncover vintage fashion, antiques, records, books and quirky curios – but there’s one treat that has become as eagerly anticipated as finding treasure among the stalls: the hot jam donuts.

As stallholders unpack their wares in the early dawn light, a familiar and irresistible aroma weaves through the crowd — warm, sugar-dusted donuts filled with sweet jam, freshly fried and best enjoyed straight from the van. For many visitors, grabbing a piping hot jam donut isn’t just a snack; it’s a Sunday morning tradition that perfectly complements the market’s lively, community-centred atmosphere.

What makes these donuts special isn’t just their taste, but the experience surrounding them: the chatter of fellow market-goers, the excitement of discovering a rare find, and the simple joy of savouring something homemade and fresh amidst the eclectic mix of stalls. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, a wander through Camberwell’s Sunday market isn’t complete without stopping by the donut van — it’s as much a part of the market’s character as the vintage trinkets and retro collectibles that draw crowds week after week.

Happy Valentine’s Day

At the Camberwell Sunday Market in Melbourne, bargain hunters rise early to uncover vintage jewellery, rare vinyl, retro fashion, quirky antiques and forgotten treasures. Established by the Rotary Club of Balwyn in 1976, the market blends community spirit with sustainable shopping, giving pre-loved goods a second life.

Valentine’s Day traces back to Saint Valentine, a third-century priest said to have secretly married couples despite imperial bans. Later honoured by the Church, his feast day evolved into a celebration of romance, marked by flowers, cards and enduring symbols of love – many such items that can be picked up at the market or other traditional gifts, like chocolates, are available in the Camberwell Junction shopping precinct.

The market is open every Sunday (except 10 days before Christmas), from 7am to 12:30pm at the corner of Market Place and Station Street, Camberwell Junction.
