Anzac Parade - Great Attractions (Canberra, Australia)

Take a tour of Anzac Parade in Canberra, Australia – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. In Canberra, Australia, a red swathe interrupts the landscape as it runs through the city. This strip of land, running towards the river, is the Parade in Anzac Park. It's an important site for military memorials as well as various ceremonies for soldiers. "Anzac" stands for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and commemorates their landing at Gallipoli. The Parade opened in 1965, on the 50th anniversary of that historic WWI engagement. The Anzac Parade itself is a red gravel parade ground lined with eucalyptus trees and bushes.
