South Gippsland Tank Adventures

Tour operator

👍👍 Such awesome fun! Took a ride in the centurion which was great. Cameron and Dan took me through all the details of each tank and it's so good to be able to get in all the vehicles and be able to play with all the various instruments, turrets and sights. They really know their stuff and great to chat...

Inside it’s an awe-inspiring sight, and imagining the construction of...

Islamic Museum of Australia

Museum

👍👍 Amazing place with a wealth of knowledge, i highly recommend my fellow Australians to head down with your family to find out some real fact about Islam.

Tag says 'WW1 silver nurse rising sun badge, marked sil'. Have investigated. This is not silver, there is no such marking, and it is WW2. If you are tempted t...
