Welcome to this week's Melbourne events, exhibitions, sports and community guide for the week running from Tuesday June 9 - Monday June 15, 2009.

This week.. things are a little quieter, but depending how you spent your long weekend, that may be a blessing. If your head's not too tender then you can head along Geelong way for the Battle of Bannockburn Country Fair with its medieval (and noisy, one would assume) re-enactment. There's also the Warburton Film Festival offering a great weekend of films, food and special events.

If the onset of Winter's already getting you down, then there are two special ongoing events to keep you warm.. There's the Light in Winter at Federation Square with special displays held nightly, while at Docklands you can enjoy Ignite with special performances, music and the toasty-warmth of the Pyrophone Juggernaut, a giant fire fuelled organ. Out of the gutter, please, if you don't mind..

Melbourne Trivia
Race, Race Against the Dying of the Light..
When the Olympic Games were held in Melbourne in 1956, the road to the Olympic Cauldron proved to be a rather bumpy journey when the torch relay was interrupted during its Sydney leg by a Melbourne resident, Barry Larkin, who performed what's become one of Australia's most memorable hoaxes.

When the Olympic Torch was due to be handed to the Mayor of Sydney, Pat Hills, Barry Larkin entered the torch relay route, carryinbg a fake torch he and other Melbourne students had made, and made his way to Sydney Town Hall where the Mayor waited. As he ran along, Larkin was even escorted by police, who thought that he was the official runner.

Mounting the steps of Sydney Town Hall, Barry Larkin swiftly handed the fake torch to Pat Hills and promptly slipped away back into the crowd who'd gathered to watch the torch being handed over. Unprepared for the torch's early arrival, Mayor Hills failed to notice the forgery and launched into his speech, and was midway through his spiel to the media when someone whispered in his ear that the torch was a fake. Looking about for the culprit who'd handed him the fake torch, Hills found himself alone, holding the bag, as it were, with Larkin long gone.

The fake torch was hardly a master forgery, which makes the fact that it was passed off as the real deal all the more humorous. The fake was made using no more than a wooden chair leg that had been painted silver, holding at top a plum pudding can. As for the flame, which proved to be far from a reverent affair, this was created using a pair of underpants, soaked in kerosene.
