A big ‘thank you’ to all who attended Camberwell’s Dine In Dine Out event in August. It was our biggest food fiesta yet, with Camberwell traders putting on a busy day of food tastings, demonstrations, free kids’ activities and live entertainment. Hundreds of people flocked to the Camberwell shopping precinct to experience the colour and flavours of this memorable event.
