6 OCT 1971: Viet Nam and HMAS Sydney leaves Vung Tau. The carrier embarked the 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, as Australia’s participation in the Vietnam war wound down. The video shows HMAS Sydney (III) in her configuration as a Fast Troop Transport undertook numerous voyages to Vietnam between 1965-1972. This short video records the voyage undertaken between 15 November 1969-12 December 1969, during which she carried members of 8 RAR to Vung Tau before returning to Sydney with members of 9 RAR.
