Swap meet
I was out and about and the local MV club swap meet was on.
The info on the White scout car as I was informed: it was only recently sold through a Govt. auctioneers . It was kept in storage on a army base and was used into the 1970s as a parade ground vehicle, there is a door cut into the rear for easier access for the 'Generals' to climb aboard.

A good turnout of vehicles.
More vehicles.. the artillery on display wasn't towed to the event !
The 1969 army XY Falcon utilty is a comfortable ride....

Tracked truck
I am a little surprised that nobody commented on the hull that is sitting in the rotary jig.
It a 'Tracked Truck' undergoing a restoration. A prototype for a all terrain cargo carrying vehicle . There is a comprehensive 'test' report available online , one of many trial or test reports on equipment, these reports are held in the National Archives of Australia. Go to the NAA site: naa.gov.au Do a search 'test report' Title Test Instruction number 996 - Test Request number 304 - Trucks, tracked, 1 ton GS Tractor Tracked TD 9 [includes 4 bound copies of report] [See also TI996A] Contents range 1944 - 1945 Series number MT801/1 Control symbol TI-996 Access status Open Item ID 649463

Another Aussie dud
Project didn't go beyond the user trials phase: all the combat-experienced potential users in NG dubbed it "not a service requirement".

Yikes!
That would certainly put pressure on recovery teams to unstick vehicles before the tide came back in! David
