They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

extract from For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon

As this verse says the photo was taken At the going down of the sun: the monument is set such that at dawn the Australian flag and 1914 have sunlight upon them and at sunset 1919 and the Australian flag have sunlight upon them.

The positions of the sun/shadows alters during the year but maintains this general orientation. On the 25th April the shadows are exactly aligned, 25th April being ANZAC day this was the day that Australian and New Zealand troops began landing at Gallipoli and is the day that Australians and New Zealanders remember the sacrifices made by their Service Personnel.
