Loading ...Tucked away at the Puckapunyal Army Base just 10 kilometres out of Seymour is the Army Museum that will provide hours of interest to those interested in our military. The museum offers an internal display of dedications to those who have served our country together with a range of books on Australian military. It is the outside that will spark the interest of the young and old alike as they explore the tanks, nearly 60 in total, that have been utilised in combat by various countries over the last century. The exhibits will take at least 2 hours to visit an dis one of Victoria’s hidden museums well within 90 minutes drive from Melbourne. Entry is reasonable and on most occasions we have visited you will encounter both en=mus and kangaroos as you drive through the compound to the museum. Note you will need identification to enter the barracks.

The museum is a good stop over when in the Seymour district and shows a lot of the old stuff that has allowed Australia to protect what it has.
The Army Tank Museum is the second largest Military Museum in Australia after the Army Museum Bandiana just 2 hours up the highway.
The Tank Museum is well worth a visit and visitors can easily travel up from Melbourne to spend several hours at the museum at Puckapunyal.

I visited it a number of times when I was based in the Army at Puckapunyal (1992-94). It is very interesting, well run and full of great stuff. Adults and kids love it and plastic models and other items can be purchased The highlight for me is the WW1 British designed tank that we see in the old documentaries of the period. I don’t know how many still exist but I do not think it is many. I understand a German WW1 tank is located in Brisbane and it would be great to get it located at the Royal Australian Armoured Corps (RAAC) museum too.
interesting armoured vehicle display.
