Default East point museum

We visited the museum in the 80s. As a boy from the riverina where WWII vintage vehicles slowly obtained a discoloured shade but never significant rust (unless gums leaves built up in a damp corner) I was amazed when touching a discarded track link it crumbled to dust in my hand. Anything steel in that environment is returning to iron oxide at a rapid rate.
