Anzac Avenue, Heritage memorial road in Moreton Bay Region, Australia
Anzac Avenue stretches 17.8 kilometers from Petrie to Redcliffe, serving as a major arterial road through the Moreton Bay Region of Queensland.
The construction of this memorial avenue began in December 1922 by returned servicemen and opened for traffic on December 5, 1925 as Queensland's first bitumen road.
Two thousand trees were planted along the avenue from February 1925, including Cocos Palms, Hoop Pines, and Figs, establishing a permanent memorial to World War I veterans.
The road connects Brisbane to the coastal resort area of Redcliffe, functioning as State Route 71 and accommodating substantial daily traffic between these destinations.
This thoroughfare stands as Queensland's longest World War I memorial avenue and represents the state's first organized drive-tourism initiative.
