Day 1
BA RIA - LONG PHUOC TUNNELS - LONG TAN BATTLEFIELD
Our car will come to your hotel to pick you up and our tour guide will provide all the information about each place for you.
- Start the trip with the Long Phuoc Tunnels system in Long Phuoc commune, Ba Ria town. These tunnel clusters are interconnected by a main spine route, with secret chambers containing reserved food and fortified fighting positions. We will then head to the site of the Long Tan Battlefield, where you will visit the former first Australian Task Force base at Nui Dat.
- In a somber moment, we will visit the Long Tan Cross Memorial, established to honor the 17 Australian infantrymen and 1 APC crewman killed in action during the Battle of Long Tan on August 18, 1966. The cross was first erected on the site in 1969 by the 6th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, which fought in the battle during its second tour of duty. In 1986, a replica of the cross was placed on the original site. In 2017, the Vietnamese Government gifted the original cross to Australia, where it is now displayed at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
- Next, we will visit Nui Dat Hill, the former base of the First Australian Task Force (1ATF Base), including Luscombe Airfield, which was home to the Australian military during the Vietnam War. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before returning to Ho Chi Minh City.
