"Mandurah’s newest repair cafe is giving locals an opportunity to have their broken treasures repaired, reused and transformed by a group of crafty volunteers.

"With their ethos being to reduce as much landfill as possible, the skilled volunteers are fixing clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, toys and more at the cafe, which opened last month.

"The group is led by #FalconCommunityMenshed president Ben Curnow and was given start-up support by #LakelandsRepairCafe, which operates in the Lakelands Shopping Centre on the second and fourth Saturday of each month."

#Australia: As a place to fix, mend, and connect, #RepairCafes battle loneliness as well as waste

By Emma Hannigan, Wed 12 Feb

"In south-east #Queensland's Scenic Rim, the sound of tools and laughter fills the air at the #TamborineMountain Repair Cafe.

"While 93-year-old volunteer Leon Hughes sharpens a pair of antique Japanese scissors, fellow repairer Neville Warner tackles a piano accordion.
