Anzac Parade
Anzac Parade is the National Capital's major commemorative way and is the ceremonial approach to the Australian War Memorial. The Parade was completed in 1965 to coincide with the 50th Anniversary of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli and is set along the magnificent Land Axis of the Walter Burley Griffin plan for Canberra.
Anzac Parade is important to generations of Australians as a commemoration of the military conflicts in which Australia has played a part and affirms the long and close bond between New Zealand and Australia.
Anzac Parade will generally be reserved for those events which recognise or commemorate service, valour and sacrifice by members of the Australian Defence Force, or which serve to heighten awareness of Australia's allies, military operations, symbols and ceremony, and/or defence of the national interest.
