of Anzac Parade, all taken in 2002.  Twenty-eight of these shots are published on the Library's website.  They include night and daytime shots, as well as photographs of the individual war memorials and of the award-winning street lighting (Trove, trove.nla.gov.au/picture/result?q=anzac+parade+canberra+mcdonald&s=20, accessed October 2011, site inactive 4 August 2022).

The National Library of Australia website also includes four black and white images of individual memorials by Jon Rhodes (born 1947), an art photographer best known for his anthropological work (Art Gallery NSW, 'Works by Jon Rhodes (1947- )', www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection/search/?artist_id=rhodes-jon, accessed October 2011).

The Library website (www.nla.gov.au/, accessed October 2011) and Picture Australia (www.pictureaustralia.org/, accessed October 2011, site inactive 4 August 2022) both hold 16 photographs by Richard Clough documenting the construction of Anzac Parade.  Professor Clough (born 1921) was until his retirement in 1986 one of Australia's leading landscape architects.  He worked for the National Capital Development Commission from 1956 and was in charge of the landscape design of Lake Burley Griffin.  His photographic collection contains images of Walter Burley Griffin's plans for Canberra and other early documents dating from 1909, but it also holds numerous unattributed colour slides, many if not all of which were taken by Clough.  There are many aerial shots.  Clough's images provide a workmanlike documentation of Canberra's development, but they are not – and were not intended to be – art photos.  Nor is Clough regarded as a nationally significant photographer.  The above picture taken in the early 1960s gives an indication of his work.

Another to document the creation of Anzac Parade was Richard Charles Strangman, a professional photographer from Tumut, who worked in Canberra from 1927 until his death in 1969 (Photo-web, 'R C Strangman', photo-web.com.au/strangman/default.htm, accessed October 2011).  The Picture Australia website holds five of Strangman's photos showing the line of Anzac Parade between 1938 and 1940.  The following, taken in 1940, shows that plantings of trees defined the route at that time.

The ACT Heritage Library's on-line collection of commercial postcards contains six postcards as well as the Steve Parish postcard previously referred to.  It is probable that most contain photos taken by professional photographers, although all but one are un-named.  The postcards date from 1940 to about 1999.  The images are not displayed on the web, but their descriptions suggest that all are of the Land Axis, both towards the Australian War Memorial and towards Parliament House.  There is one aerial shot (ACT Heritage Library,
