It is possible that further research may reveal some references.

Research undertaken by Dr David Young in 2006 on artistic and creative sources on Lake Burley Griffin revealed a number of references in both works of fiction and poetry, however, it was concluded that none of the references contributed significantly to the evaluation of the aesthetic significance of the place.  It is considered unlikely that a thorough search of references to Anzac Parade in fiction and poetry would provide results that would contribute significantly to the assessment of the aesthetic values of that place.

Taking snapshots
The images that people take can help us understand what they value and why.  Today, many people share their images via photo websites.  Three snapshot sites were also searched for images of Anzac Parade – Photobucket, Webshots and FlickR.  Photographers who exhibit on these sites generally refer to themselves by nickname.  Most are assumed to be amateurs.  The search in late October 2011 of Photobucket yielded 50 images when searched with the key phrase 'Anzac Parade Canberra'.  Webshots yielded 263 images and FlickR 871 images.  It is noted that since that time, other websites, such as Instagram, also include many images related to Anzac Parade.

Of the 50 Photobucket images, 27 were of Anzac Parade viewed down the Land Axis and 23 showed either aspects or the totality of specific memorials.  Five photos included people.

The results for the 263 Webshots images were skewed because about 150 of them were by a single photographer, 'fiveamrunner', who concentrated upon documenting an Anzac Day dawn service.  Of the remaining images, 55 showed views along the Land Axis, and 39 focussed upon either aspects or the totality of specific memorials.

Of FlickR's 871 photos captured by searching for 'Anzac Parade Canberra', 251 did not appear to represent either Anzac Parade or the memorials along it.  Of the remaining images, 186 were of specific memorials or aspects of them, with about 350 focussing on the Land Axis.  About 314 of the latter were symmetrical.  It is also interesting to note that three of the symmetrical photos were included within composite commercial postcards of Canberra.

The following images are a selection of shots taken from the web that document the development of Anzac Parade over time.
