Steve, if you're looking for footage of Dick Tayler's win, you need to spell his surname correctly - with the "e", not the more common "O".
Best of luck.
i notice the women in the stands smoking my god imagine what the smoking police would do now and the official cars where HQ Holden s as well
Fantastic games atmosphere and the closing ceremony was something else. Excellent coverage!
This takes me way back, I am still trying to find Dick Taylor winning the 10k final. Most enjoyable going over the clips

@Steve: portions of Tayler's 10,000m race and memorable reaction to winning, are contained in the second clip; snippets of Walker's famous 1500m race with Tanzania's Filbert Bayi are contained in the final clip. Both Walker and Bayi set world record times, with Walker runner-up in a race described as one of the greatest middle contests ever.
