The Queen's Baton today visited the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge on the Great Ocean Road Victoria. Batonbearer and conservationist Margaret MacDonald, honoured with an Order of Australia medal, shared the Queen's Baton. From today until 24 January 2018, the Queen's Baton is engaging with thousands of Australians at popular summertime events, iconic locations and children's hospitals around the country, building excitement for when the Queen's Baton Relay revisits each state and territory in a traditional relay mode from 25 January until 4 April 2018. The Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018) Queen's Baton Relay is the longest and most accessible in history, travelling through the Commonwealth for 388 days and 230,000 kilometres. After spending 100 days being carried by approximately 3,800 batonbearers in Australia, the Queen's Baton journey will finish at the GC2018 Opening Ceremony on the Gold Coast on 4 April 2018.
