Queen Victoria Building, Lunar New Year (Theme Day: Animals)

This giant dragon decoration and Chinese lanterns hang in the Queen Victoria Building to celebrate Chinese New Year, which this year is the Year of the Dragon. Celebrations for the Lunar New Year seem to be getting bigger every year in Sydney with more shopping centres and businesses getting involved with decorations.

    This is a very unusual and creative interpretation of the theme of animals.
