Not sure if any one esle knows of these vehicles but i stumbled across them today in Rural Victoria while looking for other things .

Gunna have to call you the bloodhound from now on.

I'm surprised there hasn't already been a crow-eater border raid on tidbits as nice as these!

Bob, you're slipping!

Mmmmm I think I have found the location of these items, I think they are in that narrow strip of rural country between N S W and South Aust,think its called Victoria,
Regards Ron

Sometimes the Border Raiders cant see the Forest for the trees , the back fence of the place is nearly spitting distance from the Border . some where in Rural Victoria

I cant give out the location as the owner has had things go missing so for now it remains a secret .

Stay tuned for more big finds soon

Hi Keefy - who says I don't know where these are. Anyway I'm not into armour unless there happens to be a turret for a Lee sitting there.

BTW James - instead of scouring the countryside, how about packaging up those panels and mailing them off.

Bob they are all boxed up i just have to get my brain in gear and give myself a kick in the butt

G'day mate! Surprised to see you here!

Very nice find, all this rusty "junk". These are the things dreams are made of, and some bloke could take these, and a few other bits, (and a lot of cash) and give us some very nice exhibits to honour our vets.

Cheers
