Australian Day & Lunar New Year 2012

Melbourne, January 2012

Melbourne has plenty on offer to see in January 2012. There is definitely something fun for everyone here.

Lunar New Year, 23 January 2012
Lunar or Chinese New Year falls on January 23 this year. On 22 January night, Melbourne’s Chinatown came alive with beating drums, firecrackers, lion and dragon dances, kung fu demonstrations, and great food.

We went down to enjoy the spectacle and join the thousands of people from diverse backgrounds who came to celebrate Lunar New Year.
