The 1982 Commonwealth Games were held in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia from 30 September to 9 October 1982.
The Opening Ceremony was held at the QEII Stadium （named after Elizabeth II）, in the Brisbane suburb of Nathan.
The QEII Stadium was also the venue which was used for the athletics and archery competitions during the Games.
Other events were held at the purpose-built Sleeman Sports Complex in Chandler.
The Chairman of the 1982 Commonwealth Games was Sir Edward Williams.
The 1982 Commonwealth Games Logo was designed by Hugh Edwards, who was the winner of a nationwide competition held in 1978.
The symbol is derived from the form of a bounding kangaroo.
The three bands, forming stylized A's （for Australia）, are in colours which are common to flags of many Commonwealth countries.
Matilda the kangaroo mascot for the 1982 Commonwealth Games was represented by a cartoon kangaroo, and a gigantic 13-metre （42 feet 8 inches） high mechanical "winking" kangaroo, who travelled around the stadium and winked at the crowd.
The games were officially opened by The Duke of Edinburgh and closed by The Queen.
Bidding for the XII Commonwealth Games was held in Montreal, Canada at the 1976 Summer Olympics.
Lagos, Brisbane, Kuala Lumpur and Birmingham were the bidding cities.
On 14 July 1976 it was announced that Brisbane had won the rights to stage the Games after the other candidate cities withdrew bids earlier that year.
Brisbane was awarded by default of being the only Candidate City left at the bid election after Birmingham reversed its decision to submit an application.
