    Seems a shame as a proper means of securing the hatch would allow authorised access on open days in exchange for a gold coin etc....

    Plenty of people would like a look... know my boys would buy a season ticket!....

    James, PLEASE tell me that the tank is sighted at the onvious TARGET nearby? thanks for the photos
    Unfortunately there werent any gunners present when they laid the concrete pad!

    It sure would have made it an attraction!

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Bribie RSL

    Hi Easo,

    Not sure if you are still looking for photos and numbers but I went to Bribie RSL last night and their tank is there now.

    Here are the photos.

    Always after them, some Defence establishments will receive some too.
    None are going to the scrap merchant as it is too much of a 'risk' they will be sold onto private ownership. They will either hold ground at a Defence establishment, be targeted, gifted/loaned to RSLs, or maintained in operational condition by Army History Units.

    Cheers for the photos, if any one is around PT Kennedy, WA, their Tank is at the mercy of local vandals and I am most defiantly after detailed images of the destruction caused.

    Regards Easo

    I was driving through Beaconsfield, TAS the other day and was surprised to see a Leopard at a park attached to the cenotaph. I got out to take some snaps and the RSL president happened to be driving past and pulled up and had a chat for about 10 mins.
    Apparently, it is the only one in Tasmania- much to the ire of bigger RSL clubs in the south of the state and he was skiting that it is the only one that ever went over seas... Bass Strait, that it. Wocca wocca wocca.




    There was a captured WWI German artillery piece in the park that I asked him about. He said that it cam from a place in Launceston. When he saw it he asked the owner what he was going to do with it. The guy said that he'd do the same as he did with his other ones- take it to the tip! Thankfully it was rescued and excellently restored by local crafts and tradesmen.
    Didn't get a photo of it.
