tamaruf,
The mens Sheds seem to run along the same lines that you can:
Go there and just have a chat with people,
Go there and work your heart out on woodwork or metalwork or computer stuff, whatever, or
A mixture of both.
membership is usually a small amount and you put in each week for coffee and biscuits.
I'm not an expert on this but i noticed you didn't have any replies yet.

Hi Tamaruf
Graham is 'spot-on'. You can do as little or as much as you wish. We also try to do some community work as well. You will be welcomed at the mens shed of your choice.
If you click on the link below, it will take you to a search facility where you type in your location (Shed Locator) and it will give you a selection.

Finding your local Shed
Hi Tamaruf,
you will find an extensive list of Sheds on the Australian Men's Shed Association website here: http://www.mensshed.org/Frames.htm
Hopefully there's something in your area.

Is Strathfield too far for you to travel Tanji? I had a feeling that there was one closer than that also but cannot remember where.
If you have transport, Strathfield is not too far to drive from Mortdale but if you have to depend on public transport it could be a bit of a pain.
Although, a train to Hurstville and then the bus to Strathfield is not too bad.

Hi Tanji,
This link will help, click on Shed Locator, then do a search by putting in your suburb then Search and you will get all the Sheds in Sydney, then take your choice.
The Strathfield one is actually in Homebush and there is one at Auburn.
The names and phone numbers of the folks to contact are there and the address of the shed.
Good Luck.
Colin.
