🎗 The Toolman
After 40 years of running the iconic Camberwell Sunday Market, on June 11, 2017, we suffered the great loss of one of our popular stall holders.
Paul Anastasiadas (The Toolman) suffered a fatal heart attack.at 6am as the Market was getting started. Our condolences go to Paul’s family and in particular his grandson who was in attendance.
We are very proud of the Sunday Market’s supporting team of 10 Rotarians ably lead by Stephen Dowling (Balwyn) and our Market Manager Paul Myers, who together with the Police, MFB and Ambulance crews handled the situation in a professional and caring manner.

Queen’s Birthday 2017
It’s the Queen of Australia’s Official Birthday on June 11, so come join us!
It is amazing the amount of Royal memorabilia and collectibles that passes through the market. Kings and Queens from the UK and European Royality often make an appearance. You may find teaspoons, crockery, coronation, Royal Tour brochures and other peices, some as early as Queen Victoria.

Swanston Street Melbourne in May.
May, 60 years ago. The famous National Bank of Australasia Ltd’s collectible calendar of 1957 looks fondly back to pre-Federation Melbourne. A Swanston Street reproduction of c.1863 – from the gold rich British Colony of Victoria, the streets seem just too clean to be true.
The tragedy of WW2 still rippled through family homes and the maddens of the Korean was at a stalemate: the North Korean invasion of South Korea was repelled. The subsequent American-led invasion of North Korea was repelled with massive support from China.
The subsequent Chinese invasion of South Korea was then repelled & a crazy stability has now lasted just over 60 years.
Robert Menzies was Prime Minister and Melbourne had just hosted a successful 1956 Olympics Games. Things were looking prosperous for the young country. Legacies of the “founding fathers” of the Melbourne were being cast, just the improbably clean streets depicted in 1863.
You can often find National Bank calendars at the Camberwell Market. The look great framed!
