At least it will be available in Africa (see the fine print).
Let's hope that green colour finds it's way into System sets.
Sydney could add another tourist attraction to it's harbour, build a statue
on Blues Point (demolish Harry's folly - Blues Point Tower).
We could have Cathy Freeman with a torch.
Maybe even Tatiana with her pole (about to vault the Sydney Harbour Bridge).
For a smaller budget, Sophie Gosper (quick...before she grows).
For a catchier name we could build it at the riverside suburb of Rhodes, and
give the Gladesville bridge a friend.
