Tim, it is in Cairns,Queensland,Australia.
http://www.ausarmour.com/ They purchased a few items of interest from the Jaques Littlefield Collection sale the other week. The most interesting item I think was the 'Toad'. The Churchill flail tank which cost an amazing amount in the UK when restored by R.R.Services in Kent and only sold for about 1/10 of the restoration cost. It was knocked down for a paltry USD$80,500. It was expected to bring between $500,000 and $650,00. So quite a bargain for Rob. Regards Rick.

visit
Yeah, we called in when we were up that way recently, dad was also up for my brothers b/ day and he was keen to have a look around. The shed is bigger than most house blocks and is getting bigger soon to fit the new arrivals in. Good collection of heavy tanks and arty, the ammo that's been collected for each piece is amazing, well worth the entry fee and easy to find.

There were several patterns of sprocket ring. Cast, forged and plate as well as different manufacturers styles. All interchangeable.

The Ram Kangaroo looked like this when it was recovered fron a UK range ! It has had an enormous amount of very high quality work done with very good attention to detail.

I understand from another forum that they will have a complete running Sherman Firefly also - though have not been able to confirm which version this is or where it has come from... anyone know?

It is one of the Rams that have been at mine. We did the repairs including a new section of lower hull, bulkhead, propshaft tunnel, wings etc. The restoration was carried out by C&C Military Services.

With the Aust $ the way it is, it is about time that you all came down to visit, there is this Museum, the Corowa Military Vehicle rally/gathering is on in March, there is the Aust War Memorial in Canberra and several other collections and people of interest....
Look forward to seeing you all...

I did a lot of work on that Sherman too..... Carl and his team do good work and have taken on some difficult projects.
I have another Ram here, it was a gun tower though, not a kangaroo.
