Itinerary

The Full-day Long Phuoc Tunnels And Long Tan Battlefield begins with a visit to the Long Phuoc Tunnels system in Long Phuoc commune, Ba Ria town, where clusters of tunnels are connected by a main spine route and feature secret chambers with reserved food and fortified fighting positions. The trip continues to the Long Tan Battlefield, including the former first Australian Task Force base at Nui Dat. A meaningful stop is made at the Long Tan Cross Memorial, which was created to honor the 17 Australian infantrymen and one APC crewman who lost their lives in the Battle of Long Tan on August 18, 1966. The original cross was erected in 1969 by the 6th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment during its second tour of duty, with a replica later placed on the site in 1986. In 2017, the Vietnamese Government gifted the original cross to Australia, where it is now displayed at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
