Helensburgh Shed reopens on Monday

Rod is no ordinary bloke. If you can’t fix it with Sikaflex, or get it moving again with Aerogard, well, it’s pretty far gone. From building houses, droving a mob outback, bore sinking in the desert (capiwirra! – good water!) and racing a Mini Cooper at the speedway, this bloke’s been there, done that.

And what’s even better, in the past he taught his skills, and now he shares them at the Burgh Men’s Shed.

But it’s not just the big-ticket items he IXL’s at (and he loves his jam sangers too). Here’s a piccie of Rod with a lovely little jewellery box, one of three he made, along with his good mate Bruce, for a valued client.

I’m keen to see what he’s got in mind for his beautiful new granddaughter!

Your Men’s Shed. Starting up in the new year, Monday, 9th January.


Visit helensburghmensshed.org.au or 199A Parkes Street Helensburgh, 9am-3pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Michael Croft 0413 401 522, Ron Balderston 0410 564 752, Paul Blanksby 0403 701 788
