Private Long Tan - Nui Dat tour from Saigon.
We meet you up at your hotel in Sai Gon at 8.00am and head off to Ba Ria. The first stop is the former site of Australia's Nui Dat Task Force Base (Nui Dat SAS Hill). The occupation of Nui Dat required the removal of all inhabitants from within a 4 kilometer
radius of the base, therefore the people of Long Tan and Long Phuoc villages were forcibly resettled. Little remains of this military camp today except the columns of the main gate. The former runway is now a street in the local village, and the old helipad is now a soccer field. Afterward, drive past the location of Horseshoe FSB (access is not permitted due to the continued presence of land mines) to the Discourtesy Rubber Plantation. Visit the Long Tan Cross Memorial, originally established in 1969 by the 6 RAR (6th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, now is a replica ), a focal point for remembrance, before continuing on to the Long Phuoc tunnels. Like other tunnels systems found in Vietnam the Long Phuoc Tunnels included meeting areas, first aid stations, and fighting pits. We then travel to Ba Ria for lunch before returning to Saigon. End of the tour.
