Some people collect stamps, but what about planes and tanks?
Near the small community of Marnoo in Victoria's Wimmera region lies a farm with a difference: instead of being covered with crops, it's covered in aviation and military history.
Ron Schneider, 80, has been collecting the precious vehicles for decades, in a collection which includes a full-sized Douglas Dakota airliner, numerous prototype cars and a Centurion tank.
A number of the military vehicles saw active service in World War Two or Vietnam, and have been used as props on television and film sets.
Ron says that much of the work would have been scrapped if he hadn't salvaged it, and although the farm isn't usually open to the public, he does sometimes bring car clubs or enthusiasts through.
