Looking for a Story?

The humble backyard shed is usually where we park stuff and often , it's a case of 'out of sight, out of mind'. The Story Shed is the opposite - It's purposed to make our Australian faith stories both visible and accessible.  Over the past few years, it's been a work space that has steadily produced a flow of great yarns and they're all true! I've taken time to craft them carefully so you can just lift them off the shelf and set them to work at your place.  Why don't you open this blog and check out  the list of stories on my Outback Historian website and become a real live storyteller yourself?

Don't let them just gather dust.
