This Long Tan battlefield tour starts from Saigon with a drive to Vung Tau City. En route, we will visit the famous battlefield such as the Long Tan Cross, the Horseshoe and the Long Phuoc Tunnels. We also visit Nui Dat ( SAS Hill ), the Ba Ria Orphanage and try to find some of the local Vietnamese veterans who fought in the remarkable battle of Long Tan. Although extensively documented by the survivors of Australia"s heaviest engagement of the war, little is known of the Viet Cong"s actions and ultimate defeat at the hands of an enemy which heavily outnumbered them.
