community and are therefore likely to attract people to visit that locality.  Common sources of tourism images are websites, tourism brochures and postcards.  Both websites and brochures may be used to help plan a visit, and as a guide when in the locality.  Postcards are most often purchased while visiting to capture an aspect of one's experience of a place, and to keep it as a souvenir or share it with others 'back home'.

Within the scope of this plan, the tourism materials looked at were limited to websites.

Visit Canberra is the main Canberra tourism website, and most other sites link to it.  The Australian War Memorial is promoted as,

    ''Here is their spirit, in the heart of the land they loved; and here we guard the record which they themselves made' (Charles Bean, founder).

    The Australian War Memorial commemorates the sacrifice of Australian men and women who served in war.  Visit one of the world's great museums; an outstanding archive and centre for research into Australia's wartime history.

    Pay your respects and reflect.  Find out what it was like to be in war.  Connect with people and events that helped shape Australia.

    Share this unique experience with your family and friends today.  Discover what it means to be Australian.'  (Visit Canberra, www.visitcanberra.com.au/, accessed 13 Sep 2011)

Memorials, listed under Landmarks & Architecture, put Anzac Parade first (with at least one inaccuracy),

    'Discover Anzac Parade on foot — with its red gravel symbolising the bloodied sands of Gallipoli, and planting extending up to the Australian War Memorial, the walk takes in 11 small memorials dedicated to battles in which Australians fought.'

The website further describes Anzac Parade as,

    'Anzac Parade is the national capital's major ceremonial avenue.  Memorials dedicated to the Australian and New Zealand service men and women who have fought and lost their lives in war line the length of the Parade.  The national capital's major ceremonial avenue is set along the Land Axis, forming a key feature of the original 1912 plan for Canberra by Walter Burley Griffin.  Anzac Parade is easily recognisable from the Mt Ainslie lookout.  Explore and learn about Anzac Parade's national memorials with a self guided walking tour brochure or podcast.  Download your free podcast from [the NCA's] web site.'

Canberra and Region Visitors Centre website focuses on accommodation and tours.  A review of the short tours within Canberra identified the Australian War Memorial as a must-see – it is included on all listed short tours.  However, no tour images include Anzac Parade.
