\"Long<\/figure>\n

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City or directly from Phu My Port. From there, sit back and enjoy a scenic three-hour drive through the countryside to Ba Ria\u2013Vung Tau Province, accompanied by your local guide, who knows the area and its history inside out.<\/p>\n

The first stop is Nui Dat SAS Hill<\/strong>, the former base of the Australian Task Force. Here, you\u2019ll see the old helicopter pad, the remains of the camp area, and get a sense of the vast 4-kilometer perimeter that once secured the base. You\u2019ll also pass through the surrounding rubber plantations and by Mong Ngua Mountain, once a hiding place for Vietnamese troops.<\/p>\n

Next, you\u2019ll visit the Long Tan Cross Memorial<\/strong>, a solemn tribute to both Australian and Vietnamese soldiers who lost their lives in the fierce 1966 battle \u2013 one of the most intense encounters of the Vietnam War.<\/p>\n

The journey continues to the Long Phuoc Tunnels<\/strong>, an underground network once used by the Viet Cong for combat operations, concealment, and supply movement.<\/p>\n

Afterward, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Ba Ria before making the return trip to your original pickup point.<\/p>\n
