Our shed is an incorporated Association and we have activities at the shed or garden most days of the week.
There are four activities in our shed and you are welcome to participate in any or all of them.
The shed is a place for social contact with like minded people. The morning crib and lunches make the day an enjoyable event.
We also have a wood fired pizza oven that regularly supplies members with lunch.

For location seeWe build bird boxes (parrot breeding), and sell these to help re-establish parrots in the community and prevent Indian or Common Myna birds from stealing parrot nesting places.
