Making Maroondah is a podcast and page designed to help the Maroondah community feel connected while we're all stuck at home. Let's talk.

How are you getting by, how are our local businesses doing?

If you live in Melbourne's outer east, you might soon see my little ad on a community board or in a business window. If you've been meaning to have some photography done – anywhere in Melbourne – I'd love to chat! www.mikestevens.photos 🙂

Snapping some piccies at Bedford Coffee Co, a local happily stops for a cameo. Go Maroondah!

It's almost a new year! I'm hoping this week's new COVID cases in Victoria won't lead us to another outbreak and/or lockdown, and I hope we can all enjoy tonight – and the year to come – in safety and good spirits.

As a podcast, Making Maroondah hasn't been much of a success – 2020 was a hell of a year for all of us, and the idea of recording and producing a podcast during that time was, it turned out, something I'd overestimated my capacity and energy for. My thanks, of course, to Mad Ram Cafe, The Public Brewery, Snap Fitness Croydon and Mamma Knows East for being part of the journey (although that last episode fell by the wayside during my 'mental down time').

Hopefully in 2021, something more can come of it. But, in the meantime, I'll try to use this page to promote all that is good in Maroondah, to bring attention to all the businesses and community groups and people that are out there doing great and exciting and worthy things!

Cheers, and wishing you all a very happy New Year! – Mike Does Life.

Hey fellow Maroondarans looking for reusable masks with filter pockets, there are some good options at CultureKings if you like edgy street fash, but also some very tasteful Aussie-made ones at Etsy. (Click 'more' on this post to see the links.)

Got any good links of your own? Share 'em here! - Mike Does Life

Cheers, and stay safe out there!

Great news! Looking forward to a brew at The Public Brewery when the time is right, and dropping in on all of Maroondah’s other great cafés and bars and restaurants!

Putting the final touches on the interview with Dale from The Public Brewery. You can hear it tomorrow! It's a mighty good one, and all thanks to Dale – he's good for a chat!

"It's a good story actually..." might be his catchphrase in this episode. 😆

Had a good chat today with Damian from Snap Fitness Croydon! An expat American, Damian followed his heart to Australia and has really made Croydon his home. It's a great episode, and we'll have it live next week or the week after. It'll be one to watch for!

Some good news for families and friends in Victoria, at last! The official position is still that it's best to isolate, and my family will be holding off on gatherings for now, but all the same... it's great to know we CAN get together.

This is an extremely rad initiative and quite heartwarming. Any Marooners doing similar through their clubs or businesses? I’d love to do an episode of the podcast on this topic!

What's coming up on next week's show? Mike Does Life has a bloody good chinwag with Dale White, the man behind The Public Brewery and Bekendales, along with Suburban Dining + Rooftop and The Farm Yarra Valley and... the list goes on! Tune in, next Wednesday arvo. 📸 The Public Brewery and Mike Stevens.

: With Eastern Regional Libraries branches sadly closed, we'd sorta run out of books we weren't dead-tired of re-reading with the kids 😆. Thankfully, we've scooped up some rad new ones! I'd read these ones on my own, I reckon, let alone with the kids...
