Hot off the press. Pucka Tank museum has closed!

Look what happened to the North Fort facilities, boxed up sent south. Left all the volunteers stranded and the tunnels to fill up with water, only the Memorial walk left.

Some of the vollies came over to the AAMME and AFAIK at least one went to the Infantry Museum at Singleton.

Alan L is still involved with the "Defence of Sydney Museum" on the North Fort site, but it is now managed by the Sydney Harbour Trust, so not a lot of money or support for the old facilities.

I have not had the pleasure of visiting Australia but I would think that moving a museum to a new location outside of a military establishment would be considered a good thing as the move would allow greater public access and an opportunity to get the larger artifacts indoors.

In our case they really only need to move the fence a little and we're outside the perimeter. Unfortunately people with higher pay grades (than volunteers ) made the decision.
