Remember when? The marathon in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics came all the way to Oakleigh East? 26.2 miles, run on a hot 38c Melbourne day and won by France's Alain Mimoun. And the halfway point for the marathon was right here outside the Princes Highway Reserve. It's nearly 70 years ago, but does anyone remember the Melbourne Olympics? Let me know your memories or what your family told you about our Olympics. | Steve Dimopoulos MP

Historic Moments on Instagram: "During the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, a now-unthinkable moment happened at the start of the 10,000 meter race when a man casually lit a large cigar near the track. The scene captured how relaxed and informal major sporting events once were, a stark contrast to today’s strict health rules and professional standards. It has since become a quirky piece of Olympic history and a reminder of just how much attitudes have changed over time."
