When in Australia, you will find that the cabin lights must remain ON when landing.
Being used to the Europeans dimming them, I asked a QF cabin attendant why that was: "So that the tower can see the aircraft when an accident happens".
As in: there's something on fire on the runway, let's see if we can find the cabin lights first to make sure it's an aircraft.
