Description
The company base at Gumbang occupied by A Company, 4th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (4RAR) between April and September 1966. This view of the base was taken from the helipad looking back toward the ridge line and base. A permanent listening post was maintained on the prominent hill beyond and above the base. This was the most southerly of the 4RAR company positions and was located on a ridge line close to the Sarawak-Kalimantan border and a major Indonesian infiltration route.
