Camberwell
"Charming suburb but the same can't be said about some of the townsfolk"
I've been living around different suburbs here in Greater Melbourne for 30+ years but the stares I got from these older retirees inside Woolies in Camberwell Junction were the most vile I've ever experienced! Maybe because I'm non-Anglo, non-white that caused these women to look shell-shocked that they must have seen another person from a different race for the first time! Well, there's really nothing wrong or bad with the suburb, actually I think it is the tidiest suburb I've ever been to here in Melbourne but if your neighbours were these kind of women and you're non-anglo and even non-white, expect to receive hostile stares often!

Its not you. Ive lived in Melbourne since 2007 and Ive never experienced people looking so shocked or so perturbed by me just going about my business. The worst part is they genuinely feel they are the good guys on the winning side of history, defending their beleaguered old (super affluent) neighbourhoods from any slight change - everyone else including minorities, developers, apartment people and most loathed of all, cyclists, are disturbing their demented white old person version of utopia and they wont hesitate to let you know that theyre resentfully opposed and (despite being uninformed) about whatever is happening in their suburb. Their suburb, noone elses.
