Oz Book Review – “The Complete Blokes & Sheds”


Here is a fantastic book called “The Complete Blokes and Sheds – Stories from the shed”. Amazon.com describes it as:

The Complete Blokes and Sheds goes to the heart of what’s sacred to many Australian men. Like the dunny (outside toilet), the footy game (football), and the meat pie with sauce, the shed has acquired an important place in Australian culture and mythology. It stands as a symbol of the Aussie male’s integrity and a testimony to his ability to fix anything with a length of fencing wire, a hammer and a piece of 2 x 4.

In this good-humored and affectionate portrayal, author and photographer Mark Thomson peers into the gloom, past the dartboard, the beer fridge, and the piles of timber offcuts, to discover what really goes on between a bloke and his shed!
