		One reading is that the memorial brings to ANZAC Parade a set of symbols not used in the other memorials.

		On 12 March, Canberra was formally named at the laying of a foundation stone on Capital Hill.
		The Commission was responsible for: completing establishment of Canberra as the seat of Federal government; developing Canberra as the administrative centre; creating the buildings, avenues, lakes, parks and other features appropriate to Australia’s national capital; and designing living areas with high standards of amenities and attractive surroundings.
		Canberra was growing fast because of the transfer of Public Service departments in the 1960s, which meant that new towns were planned.

		THE HON JOHN HOWARD MP As Australians, both here in Canberra and elsewhere in our nation and around the world, gather to give thanks and to express their enduring gratitude to the more than 102,000 Australians who laid down their lives to defend this country, its values and our freedom.
		And we ask ourselves why is it that this great tradition has strengthened and cemented its hold on the affections and the emotions of the Australian people.
		It is about the celebration of some wonderful values, of courage, of valour, of mateship, of decency, of a willingness as a nation to do the right thing, whatever the cost.

	GAA Feature: Victoria trip, part I: Canberra
		Like Washington, D.C., in the US, Canberra is located wholly within a special territory (not a state) that was created expressly so that the capital's location would not give any one of Australia's six states an advantage over the others.
		The boulevard divided by red gravel leading up to the War Memorial is ANZAC Parade, so named for the ANZACs: Australia-New Zealand Army Corps, who were instrumental to Australia's youth as a country not only in their military capacity but also for their influence on the nation's concept of itself.
		Though Canberra is landlocked, water plays an important role in the symbology of Australia, since virtually all of its large cities are coastal, the only way to get there is over sea, and even in the red desert centre, being able to locate water often makes the difference between life or death.

		In 1985, seventy years after the historic Anzac landing, the Australian and Turkish Governments unveiled this memorial to commemorate the Gallipoli Campaign.
		It was built by the Australian Government to reciprocate the agreement of the Turkish Government to an Australian request for the official naming as "Anzac Cove" of the beach where the Anzac forces landed on 25 April 1915.
		The other reciprocal gestures agreed to by the Australian Government were to name that part of of Lake Burley Griffin at the foot of Anzac Parade as Gallipoli Reach and to name the entrance to King George Sound, at Albany in Western Australia, as Ataturk Entrance.

		The two 11.5-m bronze arches now flanking Canberra's Anzac Parade represent the handles of a kete, or flax basket, rising out of the ground as if lifted by giant hands.
		There are grumbles, too, in Canberra, where New Zealand's military scale-back is seen as placing an unfair burden on Australian defense capabilities-and potentially threatening regional security.
		Australian politicians have been grizzling that their defense force would be unable to operate effectively with New Zealand's since the anti-nuclear Lange government sank the trilateral anzus alliance in 1985.

		It is believed to be at a depth that makes it inaccessible to conventional diving, but if it could be inspected it may contain evidence that could settle the rumours for all time.
		However, it should not be forgotten that all but one of the 18 doctors aboard also died, and that most of the dead were Field Ambulance men whose job was to face the enemy not as armed soldiers, but in a way that often exposed them to the enemy while they tried to save lives.
		Perhaps that is the true message of the story of the Centaur -- that one important aspect of the Australian experience of war is the self-sacrifice and mateship that we pride ourselves on as part of the ANZAC tradition, and the Australian character.
