The French flag has been raised on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge as a show of solidarity with the French people after the attacks in Paris.
It is flying alongside the Australian flag at full-mast on the western side, replacing the NSW state flag.
Premier Mike Baird tweeted on Saturday that he would have a French flag made if his government could not find one the right size.
"I've asked for French flag to fly over the Harbour Bridge. There isn't one in the country big enough. If we can't find one, we'll make one," he said.
Premier Baird tweeted on Sunday that the Sydney Opera House would again be lit in the French colours from 8:00pm to midnight tonight and Monday night.
The Sydney Opera House was among a range of landmarks to light up in the colours blue, white and red as Australians showed their support for Parisians rocked by terror attacks.
Vigils were also held around the country in solidarity with the French after more than 120 people were killed in a coordinated series of terror attacks in Paris.
Another 200 were injured, 80 seriously, including 19-year-old Hobart woman Emma Grace Parkinson.

Bats invade the Botanic Gardens, Sydney, Australia - 29 Feb 2008

It is census time in Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens.But it is not humans who are being counted. It is the furry winged invaders that occupied the green sanctuary during the drought and have turned it into their inner-city squat. A year ago, said Tim Entwisle, the executive director of the Botanic Gardens Trust, it was thought the gardens were home to about 11,000 grey-headed flying foxes. Now, he suspects, there could be twice that many. "They are slowly trashing the place," he said. Branches have been breaking under their weight and their urine and droppings have been poisoning plants. "They are destroying the palm grove," said Dr Entwisle. "They are killing the trees. We have had 12 trees die and 45 are on the critical list. A couple on the critical list were planted in the 1820s."Although the new count, being undertaken by volunteers, will not be completed for several weeks, Dr Entwisle expects it will confirm that previous estimates of the flying fox population have been wildly underestimated. Among trees under threat is a flowering ash that was almost killed by the drought.In the 1990s, flying fox numbers were dramatically reduced by staff bashing metal lids, frightening the animals away. Now the gardens trust is seeking government permission to resume the evictions, possibly using mobile loud speakers on buggies to disturb them. Dr Entwisle said the evictions, if approved, would probably not begin until autumn next year, after the next breeding season. "The welfare of the flying foxes is important to us."

Daffy the duck and Jock the West Highland Terrier who are best friends at the Green Dragon pub, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, Britain - 09 Oct 2006
UK PAPERS OUT
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Matthew Power / Rex Features (614164j)
A dog and a duck have struck up an unlikely friendship - behind the bar of a pub called the Green Dragon. The unlikely story began when landlord Grant Adlam saved several eggs from a duck's nest which had been attacked by crows. The mother had abandoned the nest so Mr Adlam incubated the eggs in his airing cupboard, turning them every day. 'Two weeks after I saved the eggs, I heard a squeaking noise coming from the cupboard, and when I opened it Daffy was sitting on the floor' he said. Mr Adlam, landlord of the Green Dragon pub in Cambridge asked for advice from the Wildlife Society, which advised him on how to care for Daffy. Daffy, now eight weeks old, has been a huge hit with visitors to the pub as well as Mr Adlam's pet dog, west highland terrier Jock. Jock, who Mr Adlam describes as incredibly friendly and loving, has become very protective of the young bird. Mr Adlam said: 'They get on like a house on fire. Jock is there waiting for her first thing every morning when I go to let her out'. And it seems Jock's feelings are reciprocated - Jock and Daffy in the beer garden of the pub
