Anzac Highway is an 8.7-kilometre-long (5.4 mi) main arterial road heading southwest from the city of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, to the beachside suburb of Glenelg.[3]

Originally named the Bay Road (which remains an informal synonym), it mostly follows the track made by the pioneer James Chambers[4] from Holdfast Bay, the first governor's landing site, to Adelaide.[5] It gained its current name in 1923[6] to honour the contribution of the ANZACs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) in World War I.
