Your Sunday morning sorted

Your Sunday morning sorted — come discover Camberwell!

Sunday mornings are made for slowing down, and there’s no better place to do it than the Rotary Camberwell Sunday Market. Every week from 7am, the corner of Market Place and Station Street comes alive with an eclectic mix of vintage fashion, antiques, records, books and curious treasures just waiting to be found.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or simply love the thrill of the unexpected, there’s always something to surprise you. And of course, no visit is complete without stopping by the donut van — that warm, sugary aroma and explosion of jam is practically part of the experience!

Once you’ve explored the stalls, head into Camberwell Junction and discover the wonderful local shops, cafés and fresh food markets that make this neighbourhood so special. From a leisurely brunch to a browse through boutiques, it’s all right here.

We’ll see you Sunday — 7am to 12:30pm!

Fun ways to spoil Mum on Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is the perfect excuse to slow things down and celebrate the incredible women who make life brighter. These are the ones who cheer us on, keep us grounded, and somehow always know exactly what we need. Mums are just incredible!

Take this day to honour your mum and other amazing women, such as grandmothers, stepmothers, mentors, and mother figures. However you choose to celebrate, Mother’s Day is about appreciating that influence and creating moments that feel genuinely special.

At Camberwell Junction, there are endless ways to mark the occasion — from thoughtful gifts to memorable experiences, and everything in between.

Create unforgettable memories this Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day isn’t just about gift-giving; it’s also about the time you spend together. Camberwell Junction offers the perfect setting for a day that feels both relaxed and meaningful.

Start your morning wandering through The Rotary Camberwell Sunday Market, where browsing for hidden treasures becomes part of the fun. Then settle in for brunch at one of Camberwell Junction’s much-loved cafés. There are so many great options to choose from. Here are some of the places we love.

Minori Cafe blends Japanese-inspired flavours with brunch staples in a cosy environment, with even a dedicated kids’ play area. For food that looks too pretty to eat, head to Prospect Espresso, where they do unique twists on classic brunch dishes. Check out Rumour Has It for a cosy and homey atmosphere and seriously good food.

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.

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.
