Nui Dat (Núi Đất) is a former 1st Australian Task Force (1 ATF) base. This clip from Rod White - 3rd RAR will give his own view about the question: Why Nui Dat was chosen as the Australian Task Force. Filmed at Rod White's base near the Nui Dat hill, with the same rubber tree plantation that brings him deep feeling.
Nui Dat hill was an ideal location for the new Australian Task Force base. It was on a main highway, Route 2, approximately 30 kilometres from the port of Vung Tau which was the new Australian logistic support base. Nui Dat was some distance from Phuoc Tuy’s (Baria Vungtau nowadays) provincial capital, Ba Ria, and was sufficiently isolated to enable the Australians to manage their own operations.
