Beautiful pictures, Carl! This is definitely a world-class museum The WW2 section has some real treasures - great to see the Matilda and Valentine, and the Tiger turret top is a cool point of display...
Looking forward to Round 4.
All the best,
Matt
That's a cracking museum Carl, thanks for posting the pics.

On many of their vehicles the hatches are open so you can view the crew compartments, which for the most part are in pristine condition.
As an example these photos are of the interior of the M3 Grant tank .....
..... with the turret interior and breach of the 37mm gun .....
..... and a view of the driver's seat and breach of the sponson mounted 75mm.
Like I said I took ALOT of photos but I would probably crash Keith's servers if I uploaded them ALL
The last blog post covering my visit to the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum is up - http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/ent...airns-(Part-4)
I hope you have enjoyed these pictorial tours. For any Australian (or international) members with an interest in military history this museum is an absolute must-see venue. I have already organised a return trip next year with a large group from Brisbane. Given the AAAM is expanding it's collection next year to include a Sherman Firefly, a Cromwell, two models of Panzer IV and a Panther Ausf A as well as adding an entire new 3200 square metre wing I think there will be plenty more to see!
Great blog Carl. 'Tanks' for all the pics.
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
Great pics again, noticed the change in headgear Carl, or is it Karl now...

Great pictures of 'Riding in Tanks' - it looks like you and Ash had a marvelous time. Those tanks slated for inclusion for the expansion will be wonderful.
Thanks again for setting up the blog and sharing all of these photos.
All the best,
Matt
Great photo and descriptions. Must have been fun to be able to ride in those vehicles.
Many thanks (& Rep) for all the wonderful photos & info Carl!
Thanks for the feedback gentlemen, I am glad you enjoyed the photographic tour.
