So you think you know your Aussie weapons, what is this one?

Post by ADF-TISM »

So i stumbled upon this today! As you drive up the concrete its sitting on is hidden by the bushes and it just appears out of nowhere. Its surprising how effective the camo is. So anyway its decommissioned but i swear its been there no longer than a month at the fittings are still on it, it hasnt been graffitied the rubbers are still soft.

SO..... What is it? Make and model. (if u say a tank your a wanker)
