1985
These two news stories cover Chinese New Year celebrations in 1985 - Year of the Ox. Shown here back-to-back, they were actually broadcast on Ten Eyewitness News in Melbourne a few days apart. The first is on the actual day of Chinese New Year showing low key gatherings and an interview with a prominent Chinese community member who explains what the Lunar New Year means to Chinese people. The second is on the Sunday following and shows celebrations in the streets of Melbourne's Chinatown, including a giant dragon - the most iconic part of any Chinese New Year celebrations.
