圣火将于下周三(四月廿三日)抵达坎培拉。而且翌日的传递活动，将提早一小时举行。
原订早上9时30分开始的圣火传递，现时已改为早上8时30分开始，并且取消午膳休息时间。
火炬将会经过两边架有铁马的宽阔大道，警方会尽量将中国学生和藏独支持者分开。

部份路线经首都区主要大道PARKES WAY。第一棒在市中心公民区CIVIC和解广场RECONCILIATION PLACE跑出，由土著领袖前杰出澳洲青年TANIA MAJOR持棒，她会在一个燃点圣火仪式上将火炬燃点，到时会有土著的雾烟仪式同时举行。
第二棒是奥运名宿兼前南澳女省督MARJORIE JACKSON-NELSON。
第79棒是由1956年墨尔本奥运燃点圣火的运动员RON CLARKE负责。
第80棒，也是最后一棒，由奥运金牌泳手索普(IAN THORPE)负责，他会持火炬走进联邦公园，用火炬燃点88台上的火盘，到时会有中国人击鼓助兴
