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, Manuscript Collection, www.library.act.gov.au/find/history/search/Manuscript_Collections/commercial_postcards, accessed October 2011).

The Picture Australia website claims to hold 199 images of Anzac Parade.  However, many of these are wrongly catalogued, and others focus on people and events so closely that the background is obscured to the point that it could be almost anywhere.  Of the relevant images, only five (apart from those already cited) may be attributed to professional photographers, the photo-journalists Darren Stones (3 images), Graham Tidy (1) and Bill Pedersen (1).  All the other relevant images of Anzac Parade, including the memorials that line it, are either unattributed or are clearly by non-professionals.

The National Library of Australia's Trove website claims to hold 682 images of Anzac Parade (Trove, 'Anzac Parade, Canberra', trove.nla.gov.au/picture/result?q=anzac+parade +canberra, accessed October 2011).  Some are misfiled and the vast majority depict people and events such as Anzac Day parades and official visits.  Of the images that intentionally focus on Anzac Parade and its memorials, only two (apart from those already cited) are attributed to professional photographers – the freelance photographer Steve Wray (1 image) (Steven Wray, home.earthlink.net/~swray, accessed October 2011), and Dragi Markovic (1), who is also believed to be a freelance photographer.

While not evidence of community value, Steve Wray and Dragi Markovic also shared the job of documenting the specific memorials along Anzac Parade for the then Department of the Environment and Water Resources (now the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment) in August 2007, Wray contributing 26 images and Markovic 28.  These images are available on the Department's website ('Wray' & 'Markovic', http://www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/heritage/photodb/imagesearch.pl, accessed October 2011).

The Australian War Memorial's collection of on-line photographs includes 46 images of Anzac Parade ('Anzac Parade, Canberra', www.awm.gov.au/search/collections/?conflict=all&submit=Search&q=anzac+parade+canberra&page=5, accessed October 2011, site inactive 4 August 2022).  However, of these only 14 clearly depict Anzac Parade.  And even with these, the main focus is on an Anzac Day Parade.  None is accredited to a specific photographer.  The clearest image is below.

Literature
A brief review of the catalogues of the ACT Heritage Library failed to reveal any representations or significant mentions of Anzac Parade, in either fiction or poetry.  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,
