Torch began transmission in Canberra

No disruption, no shouting and no snatching. The Olympic torch relay has concluded peacefully in Australia with tens of thousands of spectators cheering for the torch runners along the relay route.

Ian Thorpe, five-time gold medalist, ran as the last torch bearer and lit the cauldron at 11:30 with loud cheers and applauses from the spectators at the Stage 88 in the Commonwealth Park in the downtown of the capital city.
