Puckapunyal (Victoria) Armoured Centre Museum

[Bob Lyons]

Hi all,

I managed to drop in to the Royal Australian Armoured Centre situated at Puckapunyal near the town of

Seymour, in country Victoria on Friday, (about an hour and a half drive from Melbourne along the Hume

Highway) took a few photos of their museum, thought the photos might be of some interest, so here goes....
