Queen's Baton Relay at Parkes |
Queen's Baton Relay
is a relay around the world held prior to the beginning of the Commonwealth Games. The Baton carries a message from
Queen Elizabeth, the Head of the Commonwealth.
Day 35 of the relay saw the baton start in West Wyalong, travel to Forbes, and end at Parkes, with the baton
being passed from runner to runner as it passed through each town.
The baton ended the day with Parkes local, Darrin Gibson, who brought it to the Dish at the
beginning of Day 36. (Image credit: John Sarkissian)
