The main attraction of the
museum is the vehicle displays. The museum now has over 70 Armoured Fighting
Vehicles (AFVs), both wheeled and tracked. Vehicles on display have their
origins in Australia, Britain, US, Canada, Japan, Russia, Germany and China.
Many of the vehicles were brought to Australia as trial vehicles or for intelligence purposes. Other vehicles were captured and presented to Australia. These include a Chinese Type 59 tank captured during the Vietnam War and a German 88 mm Flak Anti-Aircraft / Anti-tank gun
captured by the Australian 26th Brigade during the battle of El Alamein in the Western Desert during World War
2.
Subject to training commitments current equipment (Leopard MBTs, M113's etc)
is also displayed in the museum on weekends and public holidays. In addition
to the AFV's the museum also has on display a collection of more than 15
Artillery/Anti-Armour guns.
Many vehicles were heavily modified to suit Australia's unique requirements
and these vehicles will be of great interest to overseas visitors. For ease of
identification they are marked with a small Australian flag ()
