One of the students from Orange enters one of the camouflaged entrance hatches to the Cu Chi Tunnel system.
Did you know...In January 1966, Operation Crimp saw approximately 8,000 U.S. and Australian troops embarking on a major offensive targeting the Cu Chi district. The operation involved intensive bombing by B-52 aircraft, which heavily bombarded the jungle area with explosives. Despite the scale of the attack, the operation largely failed to achieve its objectives as most Communist forces had retreated into the vast network of underground tunnels at Cu Chi, evading capture and continuing their operations.
This brief video depicts students from Orange exploring the cultural and religious practices in Vietnam.
For those with an interest in the contemporary history of Vietnam, we recommend watching the brief video we produced titled "Hanoi -War and Peace." This video examines the enduring impact of the Vietnam War—referred to locally as the American War in Vietnam. It captures how the Vietnamese people honour their historical memories while striving towards the future.

Observe a demonstration by a student on the methods the Viet Cong used to conceal themselves within the Cu Chi Tunnels in South Vietnam. The tunnel entrances were camouflaged and intentionally constructed to be very narrow, preventing larger American soldiers from entering. American soldiers of smaller stature who entered these tunnels to search for the Viet Cong were referred to as 'tunnel rats'. Similarly, Australian soldiers encountered a comparable network of tunnels near Vung Tau, in a small village named Long Phuoc.

Discover the Mekong Delta with Edventure Travel.
The Mekong Delta, situated in the southwestern region of Vietnam, is a fascinating and ecologically diverse area that holds immense cultural and agricultural significance. Characterised by an intricate network of rivers, canals, and lush green landscapes, the delta covers a vast expanse of over 40,000 square kilometres. It is often referred to as the "Rice Bowl" of Vietnam due to its vital role in rice production, with fertile alluvial soils supporting the cultivation of rice and various other crops.

The Vietnam Service and Cultural Tour 2023 by Hunter Valley Grammar School involved 40 students and staff engaging in various service projects and cultural activities. In Sapa, they contributed to building three houses, aiding local communities in significant ways. Additionally, they provided supplies to a remote school and volunteered at the Vietnam Friendship Village, supporting education and welfare.
The tour was also designed to immerse students in Vietnamese culture and test their adaptability and teamwork. Challenges such as an "Amazing Race," a cooking class, a basketboat ride, and pottery making allowed students to delve into the culture, learn new skills, and bond as a team. These activities not only offered fun and excitement but also deepened their understanding of Vietnamese culture and lifestyle.
Watch and listen as a student and a staff member recount their experiences and insights.
