Terrain. The terrain is exceedingly rugged and would be difficult to move through safely. See the following photographs taken late 2001 and 2002:
- Photograph No. 1. This 'general area' shot is quite deceptive. Despite their diminutive appearance, the trees are around 20 feet high, with some higher, and the 'rocks' are actually huge boulders.
- Photograph No. 2. This photograph shows how rough the place is and how difficult it would be to move through.
The 1984 government mission reported that: "it was prevented going closer by military authorities as area remains heavily mined and is apparently inhabited by 'bandits'. The mission concluded that further investigation would not be possible until the area had been pacified and cleared of mines. As the area has no known economic value this did not seem likely in the foreseeable future."
These factors no doubt inhibited development over the years; nevertheless, the following has taken place as indicated in the map below.
- Road and Car Park. A road has been constructed from the coast into the Long Hai and a car park established. See map below.
- Museum. At GR YS 480 510 there is now a small museum and there is the shattered end of a rotor blade from a UH on display. Whether this rotor blade is from A2-767 is unknown. There are also a number of corroded M 16 Mines on display. These have been picked up over time and indicate how dangerous the area had been. See Photograph No. 3.
- Hospital Caves. Photograph No. 4 shows the entrance to the VC hospital cave that is within 200 meters of the suspected location of the wreckage of A2 - 767. The photograph was taken facing towards the area where the crash occurred. The country behind the cave is steep and very rough.
- Walking Tracks. Paved walking tracks have been built to connect the car park to the various attractions.
- Huts. A number of huts (not shown on map) exist in the general area.
- Recent Photos. Here is a link to two photos taken mid 2003 showing the touristy nature of the general area.
