Eddy’s garage – a space dedicated to displaying his vast collection of sports memorabilia.
“The wine barrel contains a brew of port, whiskey, rum and sherry dregs which I leave to mature (if possible) and drink when creating my masterpieces.”
It’s a visual feast at every twist and turn in Eddy’s garage. These bottles are stuck to the wall!
This photo of the former Raywood Football club, taken back in 1908, is one of Eddy’s favorite pieces on display. “I like it because it represents community football and shows how important sport is in country towns.”
“The cricket bat came from a club I played for years ago. I didn’t make many runs using it but it brings back great memories of that time.”
“I’ve had the green chair for about ten years. It was given to me by my mother-in-law who found it when she moved into her unit at a retirement village. It’s a great chair to sit back and unwind in.”
