2018 marks 50 years since the Battles of Coral and Balmoral – join Mat McLachlan Battlefield Tours and visit the battlefields to pay homage to those who fought and died in this crucial battle. The battles of Fire Support Bases Coral and Balmoral stand in the annals of Australian military history as the longest and deadliest battle for Australians in the Vietnam War. Fought during the pivotal year of 1968 following the Tet Offensive, this month-long engagement would be the crucible of combat for the recently arrived Centurion tanks of the Armoured Corps and a true test of the mettle of the infantrymen of 1 and 3 RAR. The tour will then visit the iconic battlefield of Long Tan and visit the scene of the battle at Binh Ba and Nui Le. Led by author, historian and decorated veteran Gary McKay this commemorative tour is a must for those who served and for those who wish to learn how the Australians fought their war.
