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.

Mother polar bear (Ursus maritimus) with two coy (cubs-of-year) on multi-year ice floes in the Barents Sea off the eastern side of Heleysundet in the Svalbard Archipelago, Norway. An adult male weighs around 400?680 kg (880?1,500 lb) while an adult female is about half that size. The IUCN now lists global warming as the most significant threat to the polar bear, primarily because the melting of its sea ice habitat reduces its ability to find sufficient food. The IUCN states, If climatic trends continue polar bears may become extirpated from most of their range within 100 years. On May 14, 2008, the United States Department of the Interior listed the polar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.
