It's the time of the August Moon, according to the Chinese calendar, and this means mooncakes everywhere in Chinatown. I took a stroll around Sydney's Dixon Street to take in the festivities.
There were lion dancers, snatching red envelopes of money hidden inside lettuces strung up high above doorways:
And more mooncakes than you could poke a bamboo pole at:
Clashing cymbals and pounding drums and prancing lions:
Happy Moon Festival!
Double yolk, white lotus mooncake:
Happy Mooncake festival to you Bel! I actually ate one of the mooncake last week, simply can't wait! opps!
