Fred Goddard found a few old slides from the sixties of HMAS SYDNEY's first trip to Vung Tau in 65. He says: "We were on the Yarra, just finished the tour of TAWAU and looking forward to a couple of ports in Japan. Got a signal from Australia telling us the trip is cancelled and get your butts over towards Manus and pick up the Sydney and escort her to Vietnam. These photos are of us refuelling with her. I think the tanker on the stbd side is the USS PONCHATOULA.
