Prior to the 1960s Dandenong was its own separate city, until it eventually morphed into Melbourne's metropolitan area. Now known for its major commercial and industrial area, Dandenong has since developed as a highly multicultural city with a diverse range of ethnic groups.
Located in Dandenong are Melbourne's only Afghan and Indian precincts. You can find the Afghan Bazaar along Thomas Street between Scott Street and Walker Street, while Little India is located along Foster Street between the railway station and Thomas Street. In both of these precincts you can find a range of fashion retailers, grocery shops, restaurants and entertainment.
