2018 Queen's Baton Relay in Surfers Paradise
- 6 years ago
Just a couple of minutes of the 2018 Queen's Baton Relay going through Surfers Paradise, whilst being carried by our very own Sally Pearson as a part of the XXI (Gold Coast) Commonwealth Games.
The footage is not as impressive as I was hoping - I was expecting them to run along the "pedestrian" part of The Esplanade and thus I originally had a REALLY good vantage point... By the time I realized they were going to run along the "road" part of The Esplanade, there weren't a whole heap of vantage points left, so I improvised.
Still, it was exciting to see the 2018 Queen's Baton Relay as it travelled through one of the last legs in its long trip, especially since Surfers Paradise is the area I am originally from.

My understanding is that Yahoo!7/Channel 7 or whatever they're called these days will be streaming most of the XXI (Gold Coast) Commonwealth Games via that website, as well as via their television channels (you'll have to look those up - I haven't watched television in years, so I don't know the channels).
More information about the XXI (Gold Coast) Commonwealth Games can be found on the official website: http://www.gc2018.com
Are you not able to attend a XXI (Gold Coast) Commonwealth Games event? Don't worry, there's still loads of stuff going on, much of which is free...
