G'day guys,

Given it was done for a parade maybe they just thought it looked
nice.... 
heck that'd be why I'd do it (especially if you look at their regimental

regalia - camel guys especially).

Either that or it was representative of all the camo scheme used
(between 
all those stripes and Ts all the colours of all their camo schemes for 
different terrains are included -and yellow would/does work in some of 
their northern deserts as far as I can find out).

Then again maybe they just ran out of enough paint to cover a whole tank
;P

Either way makes sense to me.... maybe they had a woman in charge of
colour 
that parade ;)

Cheers

Beth
