The article states that "Most of the Australian veterans were conscripts, who had been sent to fight "someone else's war" When in reality only half of Australia's servicemen in Vietnam were conscripts, and alot of conscripts supported Australia's involvement in Vietnam.

The article also says "Australian personnel usually travelled to and from Vietnam by air, often in Qantas airliners chartered for the purpose." Once again, only a small ammount of soldiers were flown to Vietnam by QANTAS, most were taken by HMAS Sydney, which was an aircraft carrier converted to Troop carrier at the time.

I think the main point is that the line is "the last plane" rather than "the last train" as most people seem to think. Like Barnes said, you can't get a train to Vietnam from any part of Australia except maybe one of our embassies.
