From a First World War battlefield to Brisbane: hear the story of how the sole surviving German A7V Sturmpanzerwagen tank named Mephisto made a very unexpected journey to the other side of the world from Nick Hadnutt, Curator of Archaeology. Now that the general public are no longer able to climb inside (much to the relief of our Workplace Health and Safety Officer) this is your best chance to get to know Mephisto inside and out! Don't forget you can see this unique and rare tank in the Anzac Legacy Gallery at Queensland Museum.
