Overview

Learn all about the memorials along Anzac Parade and the northern shoreline of Lake Burley Griffin on this stop-start, guided, slow ride. Discover who made and designed them, and why.

You'll stop at memorials to various wars, structures that honour the people who served in them in various ways, and also see memorials to police services, emergency services, workers, and people affected by Thalidomide.

Note: This ride features a gentle incline up Anzac Parade, where there is rough, loose gravel in front of several memorials. The route will be mostly on wide, separated paths.
