Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Vietnam Veterans Commemorative WalkPrint Page 
The Vietnam Veteran's Commemorative Walk consists of a cairn and an interpretive centre called Luscombe Bowl and is dedicated to all servicemen, servicewomen and eleven tracker dogs who served in the Vietnam War. It commemorates those who died in service or were killed in action in the Vietnam War.
Luscombe Bowl is a replica of the makeshift entertainment venue set up by soldiers during the war at the end of Luscombe Airfield at Nui Dat in Vietnam. The replica Luscombe Bowl will provide interpretive displays depicting veterans’ war time experiences ranging from jungle warfare to troop concerts.
Australia's military involvement in the Vietnam War began with the arrival of the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam (AATTV) in South Vietnam during July and August 1962. Australia's participation in the war was formally declared at an end when the Governor-General issued a proclamation on 11 January 1973.
However, the end-date of Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War has officially been amended to 29 April 1975 to reflect Australia’s further involvement in the war during the fall of Saigon in 1975. The Department of Veterans Affairs and the Australian War Memorial, in Canberra now recognise this new date.
