What Your Fortune Holds In The Year Of The Ox

Happy Lunar New Year!

This is the year of the Ox and there are lots of ways to celebrate, but if you're not from an Asian background you might be wondering why it falls on a different date to December 31 and what the animals and symbology all mean?

The Quicky speaks to some Asian-Australians about the significance of this ancient festival and what lies in store for you over the coming year.
