Learn about Australia’s role in the Vietnam War with this tour, designed with Australian veterans in mind (but open to all). Long Tan is etched in ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) folklore. On August 18, 1966, D Company, 6 RAR—although heavily outnumbered—fought a large Viet Cong assault in a grueling battle. This place is the trip to a former base and sees the Long Tan Cross, Long Phuoc Tunnels, Horseshoe Hill, the Robert Taylor Museum of Worldwide Arms, and Vung Tau Beach. Around 7:30 Am, our guide will pick up at your hotel and depart for the trip. Our first stop-over is Australia’s Nui Dat Task Force Base (Nui Dat SAS Hill). Little remains of this camp, except for the columns of the main gate, could be seen in the close-up. The former runway is now a wide street in the local village, and the old helipad is now a soccer field—a school established by the Australians. Next, we will visit the Horseshoe location (Not allowed these days due to mining activity to the Discourtesy Rubber Plantation). Afterwards, we continue transferring to Long Tan Cross Memorial to commemorate the Australian and Vietnamese soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the war and then Long Phuoc Tunnels dug by the Vietnamese soldiers for fighting and sheltering. We will drive to Vung Tau for lunch at a local restaurant with special local foods. Our last stop is the Robert Taylor Museum Of Worldwide Arms – The weapon museum of a 70-year-old British man in Vietnam. After that, we will return to Ho Chi Minh City.
