Anzac Parade, Sydney

Anzac Parade is a major road in the south-eastern suburbs of Sydney, Australia which travels south-east from the CBD, named in memory of members of the First Australian Imperial Force (later to become known as Anzacs) who marched down the street from their barracks (now a heritage listed part of the University of New South Wales) to Sydney Harbour, where they were transported to Europe during World War I. Anzac Parade commences to the east of Driver's Triangle (a small park east of the intersection of Moore Park Road and South Dowling Street)[3] at the intersection of Moore Park Road, Flinders Street and the Eastern Distributor at Moore Park and heads in a southerly direction as a six-lane, dual-carriageway road through Kensington, before incorporating a wider central median through the suburbs of Kingsford, Maroubra, Matraville, Malabar, Chifley and Little Bay.

Major landmarks along Anzac Parade include the University of New South Wales and National Institute of Dramatic Art in Kensington, as well as Pacific Square in Maroubra.
