Circular Quay, Lunar Lanterns, Rooster

Lunar Lanterns have been installed around Circular Quay to celebrate the Sydney Lunar New Year Festival. In the Chinese zodiac, every year is symbolised by an animal and this year is the Year of the Rat. The Rooster lantern has been installed along the foreshore of Sydney Harbour at East Circular Quay. The Sydney Harbour Bridge and a cruise ship at the Overseas Passenger Terminal can be seen in the background. The Zodiac symbol of the Rooster is honest, energetic and intelligent. The flamboyant Rooster is confident and is not afraid of hard work.
