Love to see it Rene.
These old pieces are in most Australian towns.We loved dragging these things half way round the world to sit in our parks and in front of the local RSL club.
God bless um for thinking of us way back then.

50km South in Launceston there's a couple of 25 pounders but their not as smick as this one.There's two 5.5 inch mediums there and an old Crimean war era Russian made muzzle loader.

Great theme, I never gave this much thought. In Banadiana Army Base they have an interesting museum with many items and well worth a look; one of my favourits is the Matilda tanks as well as a T34, Mark
