The Mascot for the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games was Lizzie, the frill-necked lizard. She was chosen to carry the Paralympic messages of performance, power and pride to both Australian and international audiences. Her strength, determined will and attitude symbolize all Paralympians. Lizzie's frill is shaped as the map of Australia with its green and gold colors, while her body is the red ochre color of the land.
