Planet Perth: The 1993 Perth Tank Rampage

In the early hours of April 27 1993, a young man named Gary Hayes stole an M113 armoured personnel carrier from Irwin Barracks and decided to take it on a joy ride through the Perth CBD.

What followed was a story for the local history books, involving machine guns, ‘ninja police’ and a lot of tear gas. The event even inspired local punks Semtex 87 to release the C.I.B Demo CS EP, a raucous and thrashy ode to the man behind the rampage.

So who was Gary Hayes and what sparked his wild escapades?

In our first episode Liam Ramsay and Sarah Diggins talk us through the legend of the 1993 Perth Tank Rampage.

Planet Perth is an RTRFM podcast series about the weird, wacky and unexplained history of our eccentric city.

Join Jeff Bullen each fortnight for a deep dive into the events, personalities and bygone icons that have shaped one of the most isolated cities in the world.
