National Vietnam Veterans Museum
Next to the Phillip Island Airfield is Australia's only museum
that deals with aspects of the Vietnam War, with more than 5,000
artefacts, memorabilia and photographs on display. The museum
relies on volunteer staff who are veterans of the Vietnam War or
connected family members, all uniquely suited to guide and answer
visitors' questions. Displays vary from large vehicles and weapons
to articles of clothing, badges, maps and personal letters.
