Anzac Parade
The red gravel central strip of this visually powerful landmark was originally made from crushed Canberra house bricks, chosen, in part, to echo the crunch made by military boots during a parade.
Anzac Parade's dark eucalypt 'walls' are created by Victorian Blue Gum. Central planter boxes are sewn with native New Zealand Hebe 'Otari Delight' to symbolise the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps connection.

“Amazing how long the Parade is, with memorial features, and Parliament in the distance across the lake”
It was a very special ANZAC memorial, for all those who died fighting for freedom, and a reminder that war is never an adventure.
