ANZAC Parade, Memorial road at Mount Ainslie, Australian Capital Territory.
ANZAC Parade is a memorial road running from Lake Burley Griffin to the Australian War Memorial, lined with eucalyptus trees on both sides. The route features dual carriageways and is designed as a formal processional space.
The road was created to honor Australian and New Zealand military personnel who fought in World War I. Additional memorials were added over time to recognize service in later military operations.
The road is lined with monuments honoring different military branches and the people who served in them. Walking past these memorials, visitors connect with the nation's recognition of military sacrifice.
The road is open to traffic normally but closes for ceremonial events, particularly on April 25th for memorial observances. Visitors should check ahead if planning to visit on significant commemoration dates.
The central parade ground features a specialized granulated rock surface paired with plantings of native Hebe shrubs, giving it a distinctive appearance. This specific material was chosen to enhance the formality of the ceremonial space.
