Flying trams… giant koalas… surf-boats and enormous mechanical fish on the Yarra… ballerinas and the ubiquitous fireworks – uniquely Australian; uniquely Melbourne! The Opening Ceremony of the 18th Commonwealth Games at the MCG was a visual feast and has been hailed as the best ever.
80,000 people inside the revamped stadium, 100,000 spectators lining the banks of the Yarra and another 1.5 billion television viewers across the globe witnessed a truly memorable beginning to 11 days of intense competition, with Australia expected to dominate the medals tally.
To commemorate this spectacular event, we're delighted to present the official 2006 Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony panograph, featuring superb imagery from the evening of Wednesday the 15 th of March.
