Scotty's Top Aussie Sheds

Scott Cam loves his shed-so much so that he has two of them. He loves spending time in his sheds, sometimes doing absolutely zip. Just having a beer, looking around, turning random things on and off, sanding a bit of timber for no reason. And it got him to thinking.

There are thousands of people around with a love of sheds like me, and plenty of their sheds are better than mine. So why not run a competition to find the 20 best ones, and whack 'em in a book for all to see? Celebrate the Great Aussie Shed.

After his nationwide search, here in Scotty's Top Aussie Sheds you'll find the most fascinating examples of our humble, and not so humble, backyard icon. You'll be inspired by the owners' fascinating stories, and by the stunning images of their pride and joy-and you might even join Scotty on his mission: to make sheds great, make them essential, and make them loved again.
