The Army Museum Bandiana is located on the outskirts of Wodonga in Victoria's north. It's a 3.5–4 hour drive from Melbourne. It is within the Gaza Barracks complex and entry can be restricted sometimes so best to check before you go. As it's an active base, you'll need photo ID for entry at any time.

The museum houses a huge collection of vehicles, weapons and associated military. It commemorates the service of several individual Army corps. Many of these Corps had their own museums and these have now been amalgamated into the one venue. This gives a display covering a broad range of Army activity.

From the museum's own website:

"Army Museum Bandiana collects, preserves and exhibits the history of various corps of the Australian Army:
• Royal Australian Army Chaplains Department
• Royal Australian Corps of Transport
• Royal Australian Army Medical Corps

• Australian Women's Army Service
• Australian Service Nurses
• Army Apprentices
• United Nations, and
• The John Laffin Collection"

I visited most recently in April, 2014. I've been there once before and I've taken many, many photos of the vehicles on display. Most of my photos are available in the various walk around sections of this website.
