Default Wherezat?

The mud flat testing area appears to be on the Bellarine Peninsular shoreline of Corio Bay, just out of Geelong. This is not far from the large Ford plant that is closing down shortly but was a major producer during WW2.
Jan Thompson grew up in this area and her father would no doubt recognise exactly where the film was taken if Jan couldn't do so herself.
Strangely enough my uncle who served in New Guinea reported seeing a similar vehicle that had been captured from the Japanese. The part that intrigued them about this Japanese military vehicle was that it was powered by a Hercules engine. When he saw it it was waiting to be sent to Australia for examination.
I wonder if it was the inspiration for this attempt?
