Anzac Parade is a major road in the south-eastern suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It included part of the marathon during the 2000 Summer Olympics, and the blue line denoting the marathon's path still exists today. ==Description== Anzac Parade starts at ''Driver's Triangle'', a small park at the intersection of Moore Park Road and South Dowling Street at Moore Park.〔Gregory's 2002 Street Directory, 66th Edition〕 It is a southward extension of Flinders Street, on the border of Surry Hills and Paddington. At this intersection there is also an entrance to the Eastern Distributor. The street received its name 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 UNSW) to Sydney Harbour, where they were transported to Europe during World War I. Anzac Parade passes south through the suburbs of Moore Park, Kensington, Kingsford, Maroubra, Matraville, Malabar, Chifley and Little Bay before ending at a loop at La Perouse. It was designated State Route 70 from 1974 until 2004. Major landmarks along Anzac Parade include the University of New South Wales and the National Institute of Dramatic Art (known as NIDA), where a number of well-known actors (including Mel Gibson, Cate Blanchett and Judy Davis) received their training. In 2014, construction of the Albert Cotter Bridge across Anzac Parade commenced. This pedestrian and cycle bridge is being built to improve access to events at the Sydney Cricket Ground and Sydney Football Stadium.〔(Shared path bridge over Anzac Parade at Moore Park ) Road & Maritime Services March 2014〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anzac Parade, Sydney」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
