Australia–New Zealand Memorial, Canberra, Military memorial on Anzac Parade, Canberra, Australia.
The Australia-New Zealand Memorial on Anzac Parade features two large bronze kete handles positioned 100 meters apart, symbolizing the link between the nations. Bronze boulders with inscribed military campaigns and poetry are scattered throughout the grounds.
The memorial opened in 2001 and holds soil from Gallipoli beneath its foundations on both national sides. It marks the beginning of ANZAC traditions that started in 1915.
The paving features Māori and Aboriginal designs, while stones from New Zealand regions like Canterbury and Coromandel are built into the site. Visitors can observe how these visual elements express the bond between the two nations every day.
The grounds are accessible year-round and you can explore the inscriptions and layout at your own pace. Wear good shoes, as you will walk across uneven terrain and paving stones.
The memorial contains soil from the Chunuk Bair and Lone Pine battlefields, stored in containers beneath the paving of each national section. This hidden element connects the site to the actual places of battle.
