Bush Garden and Covered Terrace
The Shed has two large covered areas. The front area is for all weather loading and unloading of vehicles or hand sanding of wood items etc.
The rear awning is our all weather Garden terrace where you'll find members most days at 10 am enjoying a cuppa, a biscuit and a few laughs. . If it's too cold or too hot we may squeeze into our kitchen office area which is air conditioned.
We overlook the Hornsby council works depot to the east and not far from the main north train line to the west and conversation often halts while a train rumbles past. But we are also in the middle of the Aussie bush with lots of trees birdlife as well as our small rustic garden which looks amazing when in full flower.
