With Sydney Harbour and the Opera House as its canvas, there couldn’t be a more beautiful backdrop for Vivid Sydney, the city’s annual extravaganza of lights, colour and ideas. The largest light festival in the Southern Hemisphere will illuminate Sydney from May 27 to June 18, and this year it promises to be bigger and brighter than ever.

According to the Chinese horoscope, the 2020 Lunar New Year starts on Saturday, January 25, which conveniently in Australia also happens to be a long weekend.
