Yesterday, the big Millennium Dragon paraded through the streets of Melbourne. He stands over 3 meters tall and requires six people just to carry his head. The Millennium Dragon is the largest in the world. He lives in the Chinese Museum of Victoria if you want to see him.

Dragons symbolise good fortune and to the Chinese, are the most respected of all creatures.
