Anzac Ave Canberra

 This ave goes between the War Memorial and Parliament house although there is the lake in between. 

I had often driven through here when I was a courier driver but had never actually visited these memorials. There was only a few when we lived there but now there are ten along the way.

The first one we stopped at was the Vietnam conflict. 


The War Memorial is being updated ready for ANZAC day. We met a worker along the way, she was replacing flags at different ones. She says that they were only small, 2 metres by one and a half metres but the ones along the road were twelve metres wide. The Australian flag which flies from Parliament house is two bus length long. The flags are refurbished she said she didn't know how but they were sent off to a company every six months to be overhauled.

The high court across the way.

A nice sunny day to walk the 2.5 KMs.
