Meet Syd   Syd the platypus, named for the city of the 2000 Games, is a dynamic fellow — a team player and a natural leader whose energy and vigour reflects that of Australia and its people. Syd admires all athletes — he's the mascot trio's resident cheerleader — and his motivational skills can inspire anyone to bring home the gold. Quite a sportsman himself, Syd's sturdy body and muscular limbs give him the speed and agility to excel at most sports, although swimming is his favourite. Even if he doesn't win a race he'll always finish, because it's not so much winning that counts to him as how he plays the game. In fact, there are only two things that get up Syd's snout — bad sports and environmental vandals. An easygoing bloke most of the time, if Syd sees anybody littering the land or polluting the water he won't hesitate to thump his tail and let them know what he thinks. It is because he cares so deeply about our world that Syd was chosen as the environmental mascot.   Credit: Australian Tourism Commission
