The ANZAC parade as it marches down Queen St. Brisbane in 1936. The band leading the march has just crossed Edward St. and the marchers behind are illumunated by the sun at the cross street. In the top middle of the photo are the neon signs for the Winter Garden Theatre (WGT) and the Regent Theatre.
A TREMENDOUS CROWD ASSEMBLED IN ANZAC SQUARE FOR THE SERVICE HELD AT THE WAR MEMORIAL DURING THE AFTERNOON.
The remarkable thing are the long shadows cast in this photo indicating a sunny afternoon in Anzac Square. These days the square is often dark and gloomy as it is now straddled by buildings east and west and shadowed to the north by the high rise hotel on Anne St.
