The 2000 Summer Olympics torch relay was the transferral of the Olympic Flame to Sydney, Australia, that built up to the 2000 Summer Olympics. The torch travelled to various island nations as part of a tour of Oceania before beginning an extensive journey around Australia. For the first time the Flame was taken underwater, with a special flare-like torch taken on a dive down to the Great Barrier Reef. At the opening ceremony the cauldron was lit by Aboriginal athlete Cathy Freeman.

  • La antorcha olímpica de los XXVII Juegos Olímpicos visitó en casi cuatro meses 12 estados de Oceanía, Nueva Zelanda y toda la geografía de Australia, recorriendo más de 27.000 km tan sólo en este último país. En total participaron cerca de 13.300 portadores (800 en Grecia, 1.500 en Oceanía y Nueva Zelanda y 11.000 en Australia). La llegada de la llama a Australia fue prevista en el monumento natural aborigen del monte Uluru, en el corazón del país, a primeras horas del 8 de junio y fue recibida con entusiasmo por medio de una majestuosa ceremonia con cánticos aborígenes.
