Sydney Opera House Lights Up To Thank Firefighters & Heroes For Fighting The Bush Fires
The sails of the Sydney Opera House light up with gratitude
The building lit up with gratitude Saturday night with images of those fighting the bush fires and victims of the wildfires.
Anyone who has been lucky enough to see the Vivid Festival that takes place in May knows the buildings make for a perfect screen to project images.

Millions and millions of animals have perished.
Lighting up the building is just the beginning. They’ve also announced a big fundraiser to take place in March.
