RAAC Centurion Tanks (AWM and Seymour)

Post by Troy Henderson »

Here are the photos I took of the AWM's Centurion Tank that is on display outside near the bridge and main gun of the HMAS Brisbane.
I hope they are of some use to others here.

Then on the way home, as previously mentioned, I dropped into Pucka to see for myself if the stories were true about the Tank Museum being closed to the public. It is, indefinitely. However 10km's down the road is Seymour and there on display is another Centurion, a Leopard and a Huey. Photos of all were taken. Here is the Centurion. As you can see the rubber on the wheels has gone and there is a bit of rust on the thinner panels, but it looks the goods.
