The Australian Armour & Artillery Museum

A privately owned collection in Smithfield, north of Cairns, dedicated to the collection, preservation, restoration and display of armoured vehicles and artillery from the 1800s to the present day, with a particular focus on WWII. It holds over 240 vehicles and artillery pieces, drawn from both world wars, many not found elsewhere in Australia. The museum opened to the public on 6 September 2014. Visitors can take armoured vehicle rides and, under the supervision of qualified safety officers, fire military bolt action rifles in the shooting gallery.
