Description
A Lunar Eclipse is when the Earth blocks out the sun partially or fully causing a shadow on some or all of the Moon. This sometimes turns the Moon red and is referred to as a 'Blood Moon'.
The next five Lunar Eclipses for SE Australia are due on the following dates: 4 April 2015, 23 March 2016, 16 September 2016, 7 August 2017 and 31 January 2018.
By the name of this cache you can probably tell that it is an eclipse tin. It contains a log book, pencil and a few swaps. Please pick it up and place it somewhere else within 5 days.
Happy caching!

Logs
Caching in the area and searched for this moveable as well as the other 6 listed here.
The co ords took us to a spot consistent with the hint but unfortunately no sign of any of them.

Close to the coal jetties & near one of three impressive Groundspeak caches, the others on your way. Ignore the sign about no entry as public can now drive to locked gate which is where you park. Beware of snakes, green & black ants. A bunch of 'em.
Found with a bunch of his mates on a wild & windy day - thanks to Throsbyonchurch for the special delivery.
I could say I found Lunar Eclipse, but in reality, it's probably a comme ci comme ca. It was pretty funny chasing movable gnomes , angels , frogs etc down the freeway only to catch them and be plucking them from their hide'y hole and bursting at the seams carrying these wiggly giggly thingys back to a box in your mobile and clutching onto them almost for dear life. The whole look is hilarious. An enormous Thank You to Just a Cacher and Black Bunny for finding Lunar Eclipse and dropping him off. Thank you Ryan00 for sharing Lunar Eclipse.

Feeling really cranky, you travel all this this way to collect caches and people don't log that they have taken them, or they've had them in their possession for months. No consideration. Ruins the game!!! and it's unfair. ..... i'm just cranky because there are supposed to be 86 movables in the ACT to date and I can't access the majority of them and I'm fining this to be the case most of the time. Right or wrong from what I can see I can see why cachers don't bother too much about Geocaching Australia caches.

Grabbed this fellow with a heap of others. Will relocate soon.

Dislodging Caches stuck around town. Placed on the highway Northbound, so someone can quickly grab and move on elsewhere!
Found today. Left it where it was. Left another Gegnome with it.

The mad bunnies ride again! After work, in the dark, a drive all the way to Mittagong to collect gnomes and other movables. At least it was worth the trip. We came home with 11 movables, many of which we hadn't met met before.

Thanks for the cache and we will move it on shortly.

In the Mittagong area so dropped off my bunch of moveables. Don't look though as they've been collected. Saw the ISS but not the planets.
Thanks once again to Roger for the personalised delivery of this moveable. No lunar eclipse but the International Space Station flies overhead tonight at 08:35.
Time to move on and put a few miles on the clock, don't go looking this will no be there until lunchtime tomorrow.
Best to come inside out of the pouring rain and have a short rest before moving on.

I was happy to get a chance see fourteen moveables in one go today, and they even moved to where I was to be signed.

GCA 1108 - 10891. Found in the hands of Sol de Lune.
Nice to grab such a selection of moveables in one hit. Glad to see these still moving around.
TFTC !!
I find that the moveables are a great addition to geocaching. The fun of chasing them around - sometimes finding them in place - sometimes not - puts a bit more interest on the Geocaching Australia side of things. These games also tend to boost the numbers of moveables around - especially in December and January - perfect time to spend a bit more time caching away in Summer and / or holidays. My favourites tend to be the Gnomes - memories of a misspent childhood come to mind.... Lol.

Passed to me temporarily by LuckyL10n to find. I'll be passing back shortly for it to be hidden. Again I can see the eclipse resemblance and I suppose the darkness from the lunar. But the item is a little ordinary.

#GA619 - 11:30; Picked this cache up today as part of a prisoner exchange with Sol de lune. It might get to tour the ACT for a bit before moving on I reckon. TFTC Ryan00

Found this cache (discovered and not moved) today at a cold and wet pathtags/trackables event in Brimbank park - I think the caches might have outnumbered the cachers!
Spotted at the Pathtags, Geocoins, Moveable Caches, Travelbugs Swap Meet event (GA7283).
I was happy to add some GCA caches to the table and also left with a couple to move along.
Thanks for creating this cache so we can all play this great game.

Picked up on the way home. Will be holding on to the cache for a little while until the swap meet in July. At that point I hope it will get lots of logs and move on.
We are in Echuca for a family wedding so picked this one up for a drive south
Rather timely as there was a Lunar Eclipse last night

After a very long lunch across the river we dropped our fellow diners off at their home just up the road then had a walk in the scrub to log this cache.
Thanks, Ryan00, for the cache. And thanks to Sharnies Tribe for bringing in to Echuca.

Lunar Eclipse has arrived in Echuca
Lunar Eclipse likes birds and bright things so is waiting near closeby.
Called into Launceston on our way back from Hobart and found this cache quickly. Thanks Ryan00.
