Unique Chance to Hear Olympic Great

10 February 2006

Tickets are now on sale for the 2006 Keith Murdoch Oration, a major fundraising event for the State Library of Victoria and its Foundation. The Oration will be delivered by Olympic great Lord Sebastian Coe KBE.

One of Britain's finest athletes, Lord Coe set a dozen world records and won four Olympic medals in his career. In 2005 Lord Coe led London's successful bid for the 2012 Olympic Games, and was subsequently appointed Chairman of the London Organising Committee for the 2012 Olympic Games. He was knighted in Britain's 2006 New Year Honours list, adding to previous awards of an MBE and OBE. Lord Coe will be in Melbourne for the 2006 Commonwealth Games.

The 2006 Oration will be held on Thursday 16 March at the newly refurbished Carousel on Albert Park Lake. The venue offers state-of-the art facilities with a stunning outlook over Melbourne's impressive city skyline. Book now to secure your place at this unique event.
