My Tank Birthday….. A Really Good Surprise!!

A couple of years ago, my son contacted a guy who had a huge collection of tanks and armoured cars, and similar war-like machines, and arranged for me to spend a day there…… It was my birthday present!

So, we all went there, just south of Brisbane, and had a really good day with tanks and similar….

To start with, we explored the vehicles he had in a shed…. A vast number of military types of machines, ranging from motorbikes through to tanks and armoured personnel carriers, it was amazing such a collection!

To give you an idea of the scope of this collection!

An obvious point!

And to finish it off….. a real tank ride!!!!! We are in the turret, my grandkids and me.

All in all, a real day to remember, and that will certainly be the case!! I was overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of the tanks and other armoured vehicles and the fact that my son found that collection of armoured vehicles for us to visit. And that we got to ride in a real tank!!!! Such a treat! A real day to remember.
