Sydney Town Hall, Sydney 2000 Olympics, 10th anniversary celebrations

The Sydney Town Hall this week featured light projections to celebrate of the 10th anniversary of the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The theme of the display was "The Best Olympic Games Ever", a declaration made after the games by Juan Antonio Samaranch, President of the International Olympic Committee. It was created as a thank you to the thousands of volunteers who participated in the games. A cauldron also burnt brightly at the entrance of the town hall.
