Army Tank Ride Gold Coast

In a property on the Gold Coast hinterland with fields of grass, trees and blue skies above sits a piece of fascinating Australian military history. You, your buck and the rest of your crew will feel like you’ve stepped back inside as you venture inside and take a ride in one of the tanks… and there’s definitely a few of them to choose from.

The 52t Centurion Gun Tank is one tough mofo. Nicknamed ‘The Bitch’ in Vietnam, it was hit by landmines on two occasions yet kept on ticking.  Made in 1953, this tank is definitely getting on a bit in years (which makes it all the more interesting as a piece of history).

Yet everything in it still works except the guns. Other tanks include the Alvis Stalwart, one of only two known in Australia; the Alvis Sabre, which is the lightest tank and has impressive speed; and the Centurion Bridge Laying Tank, which is certainly one of the most interesting-looking tanks available.

So take your boys along to see some authentic relics of war and give your buddy who’s getting hitched a proper send-off to the single life. He’s sure to tank you for it. Why not just throw in some girls to join you in true style.
