AMP Superscreen About five thousand people watched the Olympic Torch Relay wind its way through the city streets and over twenty thousand were on hand at Mortimer Oval when final relay runner Don Whitelaw lit the Cauldron (photo).

Due to the large crowd, this is how many people viewed the lighting of the Cauldron - on the AMP Superscreen.

Shaghetti Circus Good Grief, what's this (photo left)?
There's no real drama, they were two performers from the Spaghetti Circus, walking the streets of the CBD earlier in the day. Possibly one was on stilts - would you be game enough to ask?Girls
They were part of many acts which performed at the Torch Relay Celebrations.
While Mortimer Oval was the main focus of the day, other action appeared at Lismore Shopping Square and the central business district.
Photo right : These young ladies certainly had a different way of getting into the spirit of things.

Wyrallah School And what would a 'once in 44 years' event be without the exuberance of youth?
These students from Wyrallah Road Public School were some of the many thousands of school children that attended.
Did they go back to school after the event? Yes!
