Summary
Small scale replica of the Queen's Baton, made during the development of the Queen's Baton for the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games. The replicas were sold to people who carried the Queen's Baton during the Australian leg of the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games Queen's Baton Relay.
They generated discussion at the time in the press and on talkback radio as they were made in China - some recipients felt they were poorly put together.
