between Constitution Avenue and Parkes Way is also not included in the National Heritage listed area, and is not in the study area considered in this plan.  None the less, this section is considered as part of the setting for the place.

The blocks and sections included are:
     * Campbell, Section 1 and Block 2 Section 60;  and
     * Reid, Block 4 Section 39, and Section 41.

In addition, there are a number of road reservations included within the study area.

The contextual boundaries or the setting for the area are much larger and include:
     * the eastern and western verges respectively of the Anzac Park East and Anzac Park West road reservations;
     * the remainder of Anzac Parade between Constitution Avenue and Parkes Way, including Rond Pond;
     * Mount Ainslie as the forested backdrop to the Australian War Memorial and the northern terminal node of the Land Axis;
     * the remainder of the Land Axis to Capital Hill/new Parliament House, and Red Hill beyond, being the backdrop to the southern view along the Land Axis, and Red Hill as the near southern marker point of the axis (the axis extends much further south to Bimberi Peak);  and
     * the Central Basin of Lake Burley Griffin.

The implications of this setting are discussed later in this report.

    2.2 Description and Condition

This section begins with an overview of the Parliament House Vista, as the larger heritage landscape which includes Anzac Parade.  This is followed by a brief description of the broader landscape surrounding the Parade, and then information about the landscape and built components of Anzac Parade itself, including in particular the memorials.  The section concludes with general comments about the condition of Anzac Parade.

Overview of the Parliament House Vista

The Parliament House Vista area is a large, eccentrically shaped area.  The southern part is the triangular Parliamentary Zone (excluding new Parliament House), the central part is the Central Basin of Lake Burley Griffin and the fringing parks on the northern shore, and the northern part is the long thin strip of land about Anzac Parade which terminates in a roughly triangular area containing the Australian War Memorial.  The dominating landscape feature is the Land Axis
