While no stranger to the crowds that lined the roads, Dami admitted to nerves performing the unusual role.

“I feel very much honoured to be here carrying the baton, just seeing the whole community here it's just so much excitement. But I'm nervous because I have no idea what I'm doing,” Dami said.

Queenslander and Commonwealth Games veteran swimmer Jessicah Schipper was also one of the last to carry the baton before it reached the Gold Coast.

“This is so close to home, all my family are here. I’ve always loved being part of the relay team so this is just something that's a little more special,” she said.

Schipper is one of more than 1800 people to carry the baton in Queensland since its arrival early this year.

Across Australia approximately 3800 people have had the thrill of carrying the Queen’s message, locked within the baton, for a leg of the relay.

Commonwealth Games Federation President Louise Martin boasted Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Queen’s Baton Relay is the longest and most accessible in history.

“When you actually see it and see what it does, when you touch it and feel it, oh boy it sends shivers up the back up your neck. It is superb. We're making sure as many people touch it feel it and see it,” Ms Martin said.

The Queen’s message will be opened and read at the opening ceremony by Her Majesty’s son, Prince Charles.
