Got a chance to visit the Australian War Museum today....great place, very well done. The outside does not hint at the treasures it has inside, some very well done displays.

Um, at the left of the photo behind the white jacket on the 3 ft tripod... not over by the girl in the pink. The light arty piece in the foreground would be nice to own too....
It is truly amazing. The last time I went it was even better than I remembered & I didn't get through it all in a day. There's a lot of interactive things now and some amazing electronic learning aids. The Lancaster mock bombing raid was quite an eye opener. But it's the dioramas that still are incredible.

Yeah, that's a German Maxim MG08. The girl in pink is actually standing in front of a Vickers, which you can just see the nose of it sticking out below the Lewis gun.
It appears like the weapons on the left are German and British on the right facing them, nice display.

Brett's medals on the left, a bit of IED on the right of the image, the picture is of Lieutenant Marcus Sean Case.
The original Long Tan cross erected by 6RAR on their second tour. On loan to the AWM in 2013 from the Vietnamese.
One of the mosaic tile art pieces in the tomb of the unknown soldier.
