Gallipoli Tours (Over ANZAC Day)
To stand on the beaches of Gallipoli as the sun rises on Anzac Day to attend Dawn Services has become one of Australia's true pilgrimages. We offer a variety of tours around the Anzac Day period each year. Programmes for this period are available on our dedicated Anzac website which you can enter by clicking on this heading or by clicking on the following link http://www.anzactoursgallipoli.com.au

Sandakan Day Remembrance Tour
The Sandakan Death Marches were amongst the worst atrocities of the the Second World War. More than 1700 men died in forced marches and death camps acorss the northern reaches of the Island of Borneo. Now decades on we will follow the general route and revisit the sites where the POW's were interned and where our (Allied) Forces saw action. Remembrance services are held yearly on the 15th August.

Fall Of Singapore Commemmoration
When the Japanese swept down through South-East Asia and eventually Malaysia it was always expected by the Command at Singapore that assult would come from the open sea. Instead the Japanese swarmed down from the Malaysian mainland and Singapore soon surrendered. From the Fall Of Singapore came the terrors of both the Thai-Burma Railway and Sandakan. Those left behind as POW's in Singapore also faced the attrocities imposed on them by the Imperial Japanese Army - Changi Prison and the POW Camps spread throughout the Island. The Government of Singapore has unearthed many of it's war-time sites such as the tunnels of Labrador Park, Fort Siloso on Sentosa - "Reflections" Museum Peppy Road. They have never forgotten their WWII Heritage

Long Tan Day
In South Vietnam, in the then province of Phuoc Ty (now Baria Vung Tau). This site is today a rubber plantation, as it was on the 18th August 1966 when one of the bloodiest encounters of the Vietnam conflict was played out on its soil. There is a cross where the battle took place, one of only two foreign memorials on Vietnamese soil to commemorate the loss of seventeen men of Delta Company 6RAR, plus a Trooper from the Cavalry 18 Men in total. On that day, fate brought both Australian and Vietnamese soldiers together in what is remembered as the Battle of Long Tan. The cross is a focal point of remembrance to all those that served in Vietnam - a place to reflect on a time when they were once young men and in service to Australia.
