We’re hopping off for a few days 🐰

ShedEx Fleurieu will be closed from April 3rd to April 6th while our team takes a well-earned break.

We’ll be back on deck, refreshed and ready to go, from April 7th.

If you’ve got an enquiry, feel free to send it through and we’ll jump on it as soon as we’re back.

Enjoy the long weekend!

We told the team we’d organise a “toolkit upgrade”… turns out it was mostly chocolate 🍫🐣

A small Easter thank you to the crew who keep ShedEx Fleurieu running like a well-oiled machine (fuelled mainly by coffee… now temporarily replaced with Cadbury).

Let’s be honest… productivity may dip slightly after this delivery 😅

Happy Easter to our team, clients, and community. Eat well, relax, and try not to demolish the whole basket in one sitting… or do, we won’t judge.

There’s nothing like Granite Island at sunrise 🌅🐎

We’re proud to support the Victor Harbor Horse Drawn Tram — a piece of living local history that does things properly, and at its own pace.

On hot days, sunrise rides are available
Cooler air. Fewer people. The best light of the day.

Salt air, hooves on timber, and a pretty good reason to set the alarm early.

Local history. Local jobs. Local support.
Always worth backing.

If you haven’t been before, do yourself a favour. It’s local talent, big colour, and serious community spirit — all in one place. 👏
