The great Australian shed: An improvised life

In Australia there are a number of iconic buildings and structures, including the Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge and a number of churches and town halls.

Australian sheds are equally iconic and represent a way of life unique to this country. Our sheds have many forms ranging from hay sheds, farm sheds, chook sheds, backyard sheds. Then there are woolsheds, (also known as shearing sheds) where sheep are fleeced. And, of course, there is that big shed in Canberra, Parliament House, from where the population is fleeced.
