ABOUT Camberwell
Camberwell is a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, in the local municipality of the City of Boroondara.
A feature sight of Camberwell is the Burke Road shopping strip, which stretches north approximately 600 m from Camberwell Junction, where three tram routes converge - the 70, 72, and 75. Half-way up the shopping strip is Camberwell railway station, which services the Belgrave, Lilydale, and Alamein train lines. East Camberwell, Riversdale, Willison, and Hartwell stations also lie within the suburb's boundaries. Several bus routes also cover the area.
The historic Rivoli Cinemas sit just west of Camberwell Junction.
Prospect Hill Road in Camberwell is the home of the Australian Council for Educational Research.
Australian singers Kylie Minogue and Dannii Minogue were raised in nearby Burwood and attended Camberwell High School, and it is now also the home of actor Geoffrey Rush. The Australian Comedian and Gladioli-tossing Barry Humphries (best known as the man behind Dame Edna) also spent his childhood years in the leafy Golf Links Estate at 36 Christowel Street.
