We have been celebrating Chinese New Year. We went shopping at Tsing Wah Chinese grocers for a few purchases, and I have put up my Chinese decorations, and been busy cooking Chinese meals. Also, we have been watching Asian movies to celebrate this week. We have watch The Hunted with Christopher Lambert, Skyfall - James Bond and Crazy Rich Asians.

This temple hold the contents of a number of Chinese
Temples from north-eastern Tasmanian mining towns.
As these temples gradually closed down, their contents were kept
and eventually donated to the Museum.
The Guan Di Temple is still a working temple and offers a unique
window into Chinese religious practice in Tasmania during the 1880s.
The collection includes decorated plaques, incense burner
and other ceremonial items.
