The name was Heywood, and quite a few remains are to be found around here.

You should gather them up and bury them, with respect.

Hayward was at Shady creek . The propery is now a sand blasting business , I go there now and then to get stuff blasted. The sand blaster there told me the whole story, his wife is the daughter of the original 'Tank man'.

A complete Grant was just down the road here where I live, in an old sawmill in the bush , it was driven there after the war and they just left it , they never used it, complete with main gun in situ . Around 1990, the tank man at Narre Warren procured it. I could say more, but this isn't the place
