Just like a wild horse, this year promises to be rather energetic and competitive compared to the sleepy Year of The Snake. 2014 will be a year of interesting opportunities, but is a time to be careful not to "gallop" off up the wrong mountain. Horses love adventures and bring good luck according to Chinese Astrology, so it sounds like a great year lies ahead.
If you are unable to attend Brisbane's Chinese New Year Festival at Sunnybank Plaza, be sure to head along for all the fun and excitement at
The Valley Chinese New Year Festival, 31st January - 2nd February, 2014.
May you have a prosperous Year of The Wooden Horse, and "Kung Hei Fat Choi" for 2014.
