The Olympic Torch set off across the world
and around Australia on the longest,
most varied and spectacular journey in Olympic
history
|
|
|
It was relayed by 10,000 runners through more than 1,000 Australian towns and suburbs, passing within an hour’s drive of 85 per cent of the country’s population. It passed through some of Australia’s most dramatic and inspiring scenery on a 27,000-kilometre
journey

My
friend, Pete carrying the Olympic flame
in Melbourne
|
| Dipping beneath the Great
Barrier Reef in a submersible, two train journeys, a camel ride
and a ferry crossing to
Tasmania, the flame arrived on
Bondi Beach to board a surfboat rowed by bronzed Australian lifesavers on
its final leg to Sydney Olympic Park
