Hot off the press. Pucka Tank museum has closed!

On my last visit the one remaining staff member told me they had $35 million allocated to build a new museum and finally all their exhibits would be housed under cover. He compared it to a Bunnings size building.

When completed and as each vehicle was relocated it was to be refurbished painted etc whatever required for display.

At least that was what I was told as recently as a few months ago.

With budgets restraints the museum is quite sad at present. That are grossly understaffed and they are flat out just keeping the bird s**t off the exhibits which are mostly in outdoor but roofed cover. Everything is covered in dust and leaves and when you consider what a fantastic collection they have it is a shame that more resources are not allocated to present it better.

Let's hope the future bodes well for what is a world class collection.
