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

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.
