Whether you are cheering on horses at the track, drinking beer at a pub in the outback or lunching at one of the many restaurants throughout the country, Melbourne Cup Day is an event that everyone gets involved in. You've never experienced a horse race that virtually takes over a country, with each bar, restaurant and café hosting Cup-inspired events. Dress up, place a bet, and enjoy a long lunch with a nail biting ending.

Get ready for dragons, firecrackers, fantastic food and spectacular song and dance as Australians celebrate Lunar New Year. There are colourful, exuberant events across the country, spanning over two weeks. The Lunar New Year celebrations in Sydney are usually centred around Chinatown, while in Brisbane you'll see Fortitude Valley come to life. In Melbourne and Perth, head to the hub of excitement in each city's respective Chinatown for street parades, dances and games.
