GunaiKurnai People see lunar eclipse as a spiritual warning .
Many of the stories of the GunaiKurnai People are woven into the sky.
The sight of a red moon in an eclipse can be seen as a spiritual connection or warning that a GunaiKurnai person will die.
A red moon occurs when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon.
The red colour is caused by the bending of light through Earth’s atmosphere.
Eclipses aren’t common, yet they are never forgotten.
There are no dates marking time, yet this special event is captured and passed on from generation to generation.
The spiritual belief system is all linked to the landscape.
