Reflecting on 1956 when the Melbourne Olympics torch passed through Rockhampton and surrounding towns. It was a significant moment for our city, as we proudly participated in this global event. The torch relay showcased our community’s connection to the worldwide Olympic movement.
Hi, Nicky Way from ABC Capricornia here, I’m wanting to see if the Society knows of anyone who was at the Olympic Torch relay in 1956. It’s the 70th anniversary of the torch’s visit to Rockhampton and we would love to do a follow up story.
Kind regards Nicky Way [email protected]
