    		Richmond High School, NSW Australia 2756 support the SIDS charity.
    In 1994 they covered the bini-shell roof in red plastic to create the world's biggest red nose. Later it was permanently painted red.
    The site has many photographs and tells how it was done.

    {Extract;:'This} photo on Launch Day was taken from the NSW Police helicopter.
    We also had a RAAF fly-over and paratroopers.
    'Red Nose Day' was formed by our 800 students plus staff plus 900 Primary School visitors plus 300 special SIDS guests.
    We also permanently painted our dome-shaped hall (MAC) red, to create the
    'world's biggest red nose'.

    Inspired by the Netherlands question, why in English do we use the term 'Great Britain' as it is only a translation from French, who call both Britain and Brittany Bretagne, and therefore needed to separate the two. As far as I know there are no other Britains so absolutely no need to call our country anything but 'Britain'. So does anyone know why we adopted the name the French use despite having no need to do so?
