Anzac Parade

Was originally called North Street but because there were a number of WW1 returned soldiers living there the name was changed to ANZAC Parade (Source: NMH 1 August 1944). This street was part of the 1891 DP 2505 subdivision by Excelsior Land Co. It is on a section of Main Road 217 and then goes along the waterfront. There is a BBQ picnic area and a boat launching ramp. The Lions Park holds Sunday markets.
