They also have an annual "AusArmor Fest", where the theme is visitor involvement. Not many other places let you ride in a Panzer IV or T-72.

I love the fact that if it is a gun, has armour and/or carries a gun the Chieftain knows the name and full designation. When it doesn't have a shooty thing its 'A Truck'.
-
The condition of these vehicles is unbelievable, props to the people who are conserving these beautiful pieces of history 😊

I was in Cairns and was told to go enjoy the cable car ride. I didn’t know this museum existed until I got to the end of the cable car and saw it. It was a very nice surprise for a former tanker.

Many wealthy people just buy super yachts and Ferraris. The founder of this museum has given us all a huge gift in this museum. THANK YOU!

I'm so jealous of Australians! It's a crime we don't have a huge armor museum in the USA that's open to the public!
-
I've been watching their videos. Their mechanics are WIZARDS with what they can do. I forget which vehicle it is, but they pieced it back together from basically scrap pieces that the largest was around a meter. That would be about 4 feet for the Americans. Purely amazing.

That's a really impressive collection. That SU-76M looked in better condition that when it would've been in the Red Army!

The largest Armour and Artillery museum in Australia! One of the pro's of living in the Cairns region
-
“It’s a heckuva museum.” There’s their ad, right there.
-
Actually found and subbed to their youtube earlier today, their restoration workshop videos are great.

From 2011 to 2017 I saw the Australian AS1 'Hat Dich' every day when I went to work at 1 BDE. Walking into the musuem and seeing her sitting there I actually said "Hello, what're you doing here?" It was like seeing an old friend that you didn't expect to run into, it was a surprise but a welcome one.
-
What a beautiful collection the Aussies have assembled. I always watch the "Workshop Wednesdays" and the care that they put into each rebuild is truly impressive. I could spend weeks crawling over these old relics.
-
Inside the hatch of the T-26 please. Also get down to Brisbane, Mephisto is there. Proof that Australia has been shipping rare tanks back home since 1918 ;)
-
As a Kiwi, I can thoroughly recommend Cairns as an excellent tourist destination. It has a great Aussie vibe without the gaudy theme parks of the Gold Coast to the distant south. I went prior to the Armour Museum opening and the area blew me away.
-
What an incredible collection, especially the WW2 German bring backs! I didn't know that any of the Littlefield collection made its way to Australia. Glad to know people will still be able to see them. I remember the times I got to visit when Jacques was still alive. The best time I ever had was when they let us climb and enter the tanks!
-
24:52 that legendary "inside the hatch" episode featuring the birds of Australia. Never forget the emu war. 😂
-
Holy macaroni! Revealing to us that the AusArmour guys will restore that Ha-Go soon would give us more incentive to watch their Workshop Wednesday videos on their YT channel!
-
I live 20 minutes away from this place. Epic display.
-
Ghe Jgdpanzer got a whole lot more than a paint job! It was a total wreck and took a whole lot of sweat, time and skill to get running again. It was a fantastic build series!

I wish I'd known you were coming. I'd have come up from Townsville. It's been a while since I was last at the museum. There's quite a bit more there now. If you have Mrs. Chieftain & the kids with you, and a day to spare, head out to Herberton. They have a historic village there which is really a huge museum. It's set up as a tin mining town from around the turn of the 20th century. Absolutely worth a look, especially if you can take your kids.
