Every year, Lunar New Year is celebrated by millions across the globe, and is the largest multicultural celebration in Australia. It marks the turn of the Lunar calendar in China, Vietnam and Korea, the date of which is dictated by the moon.
Each year is marked by one of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac and 2018 marks the year of the dog. Dogs are known for being honest, loyal and true friends.
