Patricia Amphlett became a pop star at fourteen. Better known as "Little Pattie", she rode the first wave of surfie culture in the early 1960s. Her top hits including "He's my Blonde Headed Stompie Wompie Real Gone Surfer Boy" and "Stompin' at Maroubra" were anthems of the times. At 17, Little Pattie became the youngest entertainer to perform for the troops in Vietnam. While on stage at the Australian base Nui Dat on 18 August 1966 the Battle of Long Tan erupted nearby. It was a dangerous and life-changing experience. Fifty years later Australian Story accompanied Patricia Amphlett as she returned to Vietnam for the anniversary commemoration, to remember those who died in the Battle of Long Tan and to sing once more for those who survived. Nobody expected the events that unfolded.
