> ... putting effort into something which yields no practical return on investment That can be applied to the Sydney Opera House, though on a slightly different scale. I've started making the trip by ferry to Circular Quay to have a coffee at a cafe by the water. The Opera House an amazing building and I marvel at the political will required to get it started (and finished). It took 14 years to complete and went 14 times over budget. It had a lottery created to pay for it! The nearby Harbour Bridge is another construction that went further than was necessary at the time. Both are spectacular.
