ANZAC Square, War memorial square in Brisbane City, Australia
ANZAC Square is a public plaza in central Brisbane located between Ann Street and Adelaide Street. It features a memorial shrine at its center with an Eternal Flame housed in a bronze urn, surrounded by exhibition galleries.
The site opened on Armistice Day in 1930 as a memorial to members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. Over time, it has expanded to acknowledge service across multiple conflicts and from different communities.
The square serves as a place where people gather to honor and remember those who served. The inscriptions and monuments create a space for quiet reflection on sacrifice and duty.
The square is free to enter and open throughout the day, with guided tours available to learn about the site's history. The grounds are flat and easy to navigate, with pathways leading to all major areas of the memorial.
A sculpture on the site honors Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members who served, added in 2022 as an important recognition. This artwork highlights contributions from communities whose stories were previously overlooked.
