🇦🇺 Hidden Gem in Cairns: Australian Armour & Artillery Museum 🚜💥

Who knew Cairns had a military treasure trove? As repeat visitors who’ve done the classic reef trips, we stumbled upon this offbeat marvel—and it blew our minds! 🦾 Museum Highlights 100+ tanks & artillery from WWII/Cold War (German Tigers, Soviet T-72s, US Shermans) Rare exhibits: Compare German engineering (flawless welding 👨‍🏭) vs. Allied riveted designs Shooting range: Fire historic guns (book ahead!) 🔫 Sadly closed: Armored vehicle rides (typhoon-damaged tracks 😢) 🤯 Mind-Blowing Detail The German tanks’ precision (even in WWII!) explains why their cars (cough BMW cough) still dominate today. Industrial DNA runs deep! #CairnsSecrets #MilitaryHistory #TankNerd
