Nights out in Boroondara

It’s a Friday night in 1985 - where are we heading? The cinema, the Golden Bowl, an amusement parlour or a gig at Camberwell Civic Hall? Set across Boroondara’s mid-to-late twentieth century, this lively talk explores the social history of leisure, offering a snapshot of how residents filled their evenings with entertainment close to home. A celebration of the venues still standing, the ones fondly remembered and the simple truth that Boroondara locals have always known how to enjoy a good night out.
