Mt Gravatt Men’s Shed · Brisbane’s south side · Men Making a Difference
A friendly shed where men make things, learn things and have a yarn
No matter what your skills, you’ll be welcome. Come and enjoy fellowship, a cuppa and a chat — and try woodwork, metalwork, art, music and 25+ other activities with like-minded blokes from Mt Gravatt and across south Brisbane.
Open Monday – Friday, 8:00am – 3:00pm · Mt Gravatt Showgrounds — look for the windmill
Is the Shed for you?
Members come from all walks of life. What unites them is having time on their hands and wanting something meaningful to do with it.
Retired, or got time on your hands?
There’s no pressure. You can just come for a yarn and a cuppa — or pick up a tool and learn something new. Most members drop in at least once a week.
How to visit →Thinking of Dad, Grandad or a mate?
If someone you care about could do with good company and something to look forward to, bring him along as a visitor to see what the Shed is like.
Visiting as a family →Got a skill to share?
If you’re skilled in any area we cover, you’re encouraged to pass it on — or learn from others as they pass on theirs.
See activities →Got tools or timber to spare?
All working hand and power tools are gratefully accepted, along with wood, steel, aluminium and hardware. Cash donations are tax deductible.

Thanks to our supporters
The Shed was set up with help from local churches, Rotary clubs, community groups and all three levels of government — and local businesses still back us today.
