On a day when 35 golds were being decided, Australia's track cyclists made history by picking up a record 10th gold from 11 events through wins in the men's and women's sprints, the women's scratch and the men's team pursuit.
Anna Meares took the women's sprint title to cap a performance which has seen her take Commonwealth records in two events.
Shane Perkins took gold in the sprint a day after being disqualified from the keirin while Australia smashed their own Commonwealth record to take gold in the men's 4000m team pursuit.
Teenager Megan Dunn picked up her second gold in as many days in the 10km scratch to add to her 25km points race win.
In the pool, Australia weren't so dominant, winning just one of the four finals.
However, it was a memorable victory with Alicia Coutts winning a third gold of the week by adding the 100m butterfly to her 200m individual medley and 100m freestyle titles.
England's Olympic champion Rebecca Adlington, one of many swimmers to have been struck down with stomach problems, was still too good for her rivals as she cruised to victory in the 800m freestyle.
Canada's Brent Hayden took the men's 100m freestyle with defending champion Simon Burnett of England in second and Australia's Olympic silver medallist Eamon Sullivan settling for bronze.
South Africa's Chad Le Clos took the 400m medley.
Pint-sized Yukio Peter gave the tiny Pacific island of Nauru their first gold medal of these Games when he clinched the men's weightlifting 77kg victory.
India, who are second in the medals table behind Australia, picked up three golds with Geeta becoming the first Indian woman to win a wrestling gold with victory in the 55kg class.
