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.
