Inside the souvineer shop, this is 'The General', and he seems to be very comfortable with his

position of responsibility, checking that all transactions over the counter are correct......

Situated just outside the main entrance to the museum is a 1st War mock up of a British

tank, this was actually used in the TV mini-series 'The Anzacs' which starred Paul Hogan

and was fairly well recieved when it was shown here quite a few years ago now, I did watch

the series and enjoyed it, but would like to see it again now to see how it has stood up to the

test of time, but the mock up tank looks good......
