That's the lot.

One of the above, is not like the other ones. Do you see which one? It is from a ceremonial carriage which has been used for some of Australias most noted military funerals in past years. There are, in fact, two of these carriages at the museum. They have carried the caskets of: Sir Ernest Edward "Weary" Dunlop AC, CMG, OBE, and our last ANZAC, Mr Alec William Campbell, who died in 2002, aged 103. Rest their souls.

I have some photos of the ceremonial carriages, if anyone is intereted.
