Wallowing Willy was made for the TV series "The Anzacs" staring Paul Hogan and many others. WW is based on an old Cat D7 dozer and was made at a factory in Melbourne in 1983. She is a bit short but looked the part in the TV series . You couldn't tell that the rivets were all willow and made by a cricket bat maker and stuck onto the mild steel. My 1916 Albion A10 was also used in that series along with a number of vehicles from the Veteran Car Club of Australia.
The only real WW1 tank I know of in Australia is in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, ACT. It is complete and it is a pity we will never see it going, just a static display.
