Hi Guys,
I had a great time @ the plaque dedication in Canberra. As we all know we went to Vietnam to fight four our freedom & democracy in this Country. I have also changed my name by Licence to Harley Williamson.
Get onto U Tube & see me get arrested in Kalgoolie Court on the 29th of May 2010. I guess what we hold precious & what we sacraficed our lives for has all gone down the gurgeler.
Pass it on to all Roadrunners as we are back @ war again

Hello,
I am a Grandson of WO2 Robert Mundy, who served the Roadrunners in Vietnam. In 2008, my “Papa” Robert (better known as “Bob”) unfortunately succumbed to cancer as a result of a heart transplant. My Grandmother (Avis, Bob’s wife) and i are currently planning a trip to Vietnam, with the idea of seeing the countryside that he saw (although we do realise it will be different, it will hopefully offer us some understanding and closure).
From my Grandmothers memories, we have been able to piece together a rough itenary, combining the places he visited with tourist attractions. So far, our 14 day itenary includes:
- Landing in Saigon (HCMC), with side trips to Long Hai, Vung Tau & Bien Hoa (5 days)
- Fly to Da Nang, taxi to Hoi An (4 Days)
- Rail to Nha Trang (4 Days)
- Fly back to Saigon (1 Day)
We also know that he was at Nui Dat, but apart from the destinations as mentioned above, we cannot figure out any more places, especially given our 14 day limit. This is where i would ask your help, especially if any of you knew my Grandfather. This trip is for him as much as for us, and i’d like to know that i’ve planned it right. If anyone can suggest a destination that may be of better suitability than the mentioned, i’d love to hear it. I can be contacted by email – bjstradling@internode.on.net. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Brendan and the good looking Avis, I worked with tour GD in Vietnam and when we both retired from the Army in Brisbane, If you can try and contact John Croft, he now lives in the old Vung Tau, he may be able to show some of the places that GD worked in. I’m sorry I don’t have any contact details for you. When you go to Vietnam you will see a beautiful country, the people are just as good. enjoy it.
