A taste of MX · illustrative preview
Local is personal.
So is MX.
Behind The Maroondah Exchange is Garth Lategan, and a belief that local life deserves a closer look.
That means noticing the places we pass, making community activity easier to find, and giving the people doing useful things a place to be seen.
The photographs throughout this page come from the MX local image library. These are our streets, our neighbourhoods and our everyday discoveries.
