Brief Description
Colour slide printed on plastic with a square, card surround. The picture is in portrait format and shows the Melbourne Cricket Ground during the closing ceremony of the 1956 Olympic Games. The viewpoint is from the north of the stadium, perhaps from the Member's Pavilion, looking on to the playing field and running track, with the Grey Smith Stand on the right. Athletes are parading along the track, and national flags are being held by a group of figures in the foreground.
