The 'Anzac Highway' is the main arterial road heading southwest from the centre of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. It runs from the southwest corner of the city of Adelaide to the beachside suburb of Glenelg.^[1]
The road gained its current name in honour of the contribution of the ANZACs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) soldiers in World War I. The road was first named ''Adelaide Road'' as it was the road from the first governors landing site to the proposed location of Adelaide.^[2]
The highway is serviced by a 15 minute Go Zone, serviced by the 263, 265 and 266 buses.
