Description
During a tour of 1st Australian Task Force (1ATF) bases in Vietnam, Prime Minister John Grey Gorton and his wife, Bettina Gorton, walk from the water after a swim at a Vung Tau beach. In the background, surf lifesavers row a wooden surfboat on the flat sea. During their tours of duty in Vietnam, various groups of Australian servicemen formed surf lifesaving clubs.
