ONCE IN A BLUE MOON!
The Oprea House lite up in blue for the State of Origin Games playoffs. 
Cruising down the Parrametta river to Sydney Harbour at night (after a day spent visiting the Blue Mountains) and seeing the Opera House illuminated in blue in honor of the "State of Origin" (game being played for the championship) between the Cockroaches of NSW (the Blues) and the Queensland's team (the Maroons). The Hotels we stayed in Sydney was the Marriott Circular Quay, NSW.
When they talk about the AFL, they are NOT talking about US or our AFL! But rather, they are talking about footy as they call it. ("State of Origin") is like the Super Bowl competition for Australia. The above shot shows how serious they are about it there.
Sydney is actually a very Business like city, but realizing that Australia is made up of Eight States and that most of the Australians don't care about how many there are and only care about there own state was something I found interesting.
