The Giant Olympic Torch in Lotus Creek, QLD, on the Old Bruce Highway was built to commemorate the torch bearers for the 1956 Summer Olmypics, held in Melbourne.
Although every Olympics commences with a Torch Relay, none was as frought with peril as the relay that opened the Melbourne games. The relay started on November 9, 1956 from Cairns, QLD, at the peak of the rainy season. Runners battled to keep the torch lit as they were battered by tropical storms, floods, and oppressive humidity.
