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

Bob, you're slipping! :p

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 :D 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 :p

Slipping Bob??
 
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 :doh:

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
