Anzac Parade and Memorials of Anzac Parade Information
Anzac Parade is the national capital’s major ceremonial avenue and is easily recognisable from Mt Ainslie lookout.
Spanning the length of the Parade are 11 memorial sites dedicated to the many Australian and New Zealand soldiers who lost their lives in war. The Parade is set along the magnificent Land Axis which forms a key feature of Walter Burley Griffin’s original 1912 plan for Canberra. The Australian War Memorial is located at the northern end of the Parade. The Parade features red gravel and the mixed plantings of Australian blue gums and New Zealand Hebe species and links the Parliamentary Zone to the northern lake shore.
