Flags and signs of participating countries at the XII Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony, Brisbane
Queensland State Archives posted a photo:
The 1982 Commonwealth Games were held in Brisbane, Australia from 30 September to 9 October 1982. The Opening Ceremony was held at the QEII Stadium in the Brisbane suburb of Nathan.
The ceremony at the QEII stadium was held on a fine but extremely windy day. The wind was so strong that skydivers who were going to descend into the stadium were cancelled. Instead they made an entrance at the closing ceremony.
46 Commonwealth nations and territories took part in the 1982 Games. A total of 1,583 athletes and 571 officials participated in the event. The Griffith University campus was used as an athletes village.

Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Medal
For many generations the Gold Coast coastline has been a place for gathering, meeting and sport. The Medal design represents the soft sand lines which shift with every tide and wave and is symbolic of athletic achievement. As the water moves towards low tide, each wave moves the sand, creating and leaving behind new lines in the sand witnessed by those present.
The continual change of tide represents the evolution in Athletes who are making their mark. Records are made and special moments of elation celebrated. Although the moment in time may be fleeting, it is forever marked within the shells that are brought upon its tidelines.

Games Mascot Matilda the Kangaroo at the Closing Ceremony of the XII Commonwealth Games at the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Sports Centre, Brisbane
Queensland State Archives posted a photo:
Matilda the “winking” Kangaroo was present in both the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane, Australia. She was a gigantic-size 13-metre high mechanical kangaroo built around a forklift truck.
As she travelled around the athletics track during the Opening Ceremony, she winked several times at the crowd, including a personal wink at the Duke of Edinburgh who was representing the Crown at the Ceremony.
Once her lap was complete, her pouch opened and children representing joey kangaroos ran out towards small trampolines which had been set up in the centre of the stadium. As they bounced, Rolf Harris performed a special version of “Tie Me Kangaroo Down”.
The massive Matilda prop was relocated to Wet’n’Wild Water Park, a water park in the Gold Coast hinterland. Matilda was dismantled for maintenance in 2007 but never reassembled. It was relocated and assembled at a
