A look at Australia's iconic Vietnam War song by it's writer John Schuman.

The song is a first-person account of a typical Australian infantry regular soldier's experience in the Vietnam War.

For the live version, Schumann explained the title, "A Walk in the Light Green", as referring to operational patrols in areas marked light green on topographical maps, where dark green indicated thick jungle, plenty of cover and few land mines and light green indicated thinly wooded areas, little cover and a high likelihood of land mines.
