Gladstone Men’s Shed Assoc Inc. has been established in Gladstone for 15 years now and is affiliated with both the Australian Men’s Shed Association and the Queensland Men’s Shed Association.  Our large buildings at 18 Moura Crs, Barney Point, are well-equipped with metal and woodworking facilities, electrical, furniture restoration, leadlighting and technology activities.  An exercise group have an enjoyable routine on Friday mornings and the equipment is now available to help us keep in shape on other shed days too.

The shed is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 8am to 12noon for workshop activities and open for light exercises on Friday mornings 8am to 9am with time for a cuppa afterwards.  For further directions on finding us please refer to map

Recent News:  

The Gladstone Men’s Shed has commenced a large project to build 90 man-size safety figures on the CNC Router that was also made in the Shed a few years ago, the cut-outs will be painted and destined for the pending dam wall raises at both of Gladstone’s alumina plants. This is just one of the many partnerships we have enjoyed with local industry as it creates an activity in the shed, becomes a fund-raiser and our customers are also receiving something of value. In fact another small safety item has become a stock item at Queensland Alumina for which a repeat order is received every few months – all much appreciated!

A video of the Router at work can be found in Recent Photos under the About Us tab. Men’s health still takes a precedence and a recent donation of outdoor fans by CNW electrical was a good opportunity to remind all about the value of sheds to mental health and we have just had a presentation by Kylie Currey on Niagara Medical Therapy treatments.

We have also committed to hold a sausage sizzle for CNW’s prize boat draw on Thursday 20th August. Then will be our Open Day and Garage Sale on Saturday 12 September to show both the Shed to the community and become part of the celebrations for Men’s Shed Week. Some members to be on-hand for these events would help to ensure we continue to be successful in our efforts.

The exercise group have had a temporary change of physiotherapist with Carolina from Physio & Fitness taking us for something different on Friday mornings and there is some new equipment to try out too.
