Book Direct with the Owner at 1966: The Year That Changed The World with QLD Tourism in Melbourne, for all your Attraction and travel needs.
1966 was the year that Australia sent a Task Force to Vietnam, the year the first National Servicemen served in the war and the year of the battle of Long Tan.
