This trip is specially designed for those interested in the American, Australian and Kiwi veterans during the
Vietnam war. Although extensively documented by the survivors of Australian’s heavily engagement of the
war, little is known of the Viet Cong’s actions. Therefore, we always try to find some of the local
Vietnamese veterans who fought in the remarkable of Long Tan. From this trip, you have a chance to visit
former battle fields such as Long Tan Cross, Nui Dat SS Hill and Long Phuoc tunnels. Our clients find that
bringing the former protagonists together with a good interpreter and a plenty of rice wine is an unforgettable
for both sides.
