About our shed
About Us
Our shed works closely with the Atherton-Herberton Historic Railway Inc. (AHHR) with restoration of historic railway rolling stock as well as working with our local Lions Club members. Our community of about 1,000 residents is too small to have a lot of different community groups so we all have to pull together for the benefit of our community.
Shed Activities
Primarily restoring historic railway equipment as well as undertaking furniture repairs for any local organisation (CWA, Red Cross, Salvation Army store). Assisting Lions with Anzac Day BBQ breakfast as well as setting up chairs and tables for any community event.

Positive impacts
The Australian Men’s Shed Association (AMSA) is the national service provider supporting more than 1,200 Men’s, Women’s and Community Sheds and is recognised as one of Australia’s largest male-based community development organisations.
AMSA was established in 2007 by a collection of Australian independent community-based Men’s Sheds to represent, support and promote the Men’s Shed movement. It was founded on the principle of sharing information between sheds and those communities wishing to establish and operate a Men’s Shed. It acts as a central hub for information exchange.
