As usual, on every traditional lunar New Year Festival (Tet), Vietnamese nationals living in the State of Victoria, Australia are eager to prepare new clothes and meet with their friends to go shopping for Tet.

Victoria has four areas where large numbers of Overseas Vietnamese live. Since early lunar December, the lunar New Year (Tet) Festival has been celebrated with lion dances, martial art performances and firecrackers.
