Gladstone Men’s Shed Assoc Inc. has been established in Gladstone for 13 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 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. Our last shed day for 2025 will be on 11th December.

The Shed’s Christmas Party for members and partners sounds like another good night of friendship and fun, thanks to Junction Cafe for the great catering and those members who generously gave their time to set and clean up. Our raffle was launched at the party for the combined prize of a framed Bronco’s jersey and a large Lego Technic set of the Lunar Roving Vehicle, for only $5/tkt it could be a couple of good Christmas presents as the total prize is worth around $500. Thanks to Cheryl Altouvas from Gladstone Today for donating the jersey.
We had both Cheryl and Benita Paterson from Gladstone Ports Corporation visit during the week, Benita is always keen to see the workshop activity as GPC have been long time supporters of our Early Childhood Services Project which both gives us valued work to do in the shed and the community benefits by the items donated to the childcare centres. The Jurassic Park cubby house nearing completion for C&K Clinton is an impressive example of this partnership. Heard our mini golf course including a gas ship was a hit at the QGC Christmas party and there is more scope to work on those courses in 2026.
Don’t forget the Shed closes for a month’s break on 11th December and we will start the new year by providing a big sausage sizzle at the Council’s Australia Day event.
