The Australian Aborigines understanding of the movement of the planets and stars through the evening sky is profound. The presence of particular stars or groups of stars in the evening sky gave information regarding availability of particular food sources, the time for ceremonial events or the reinforcement of moral issues. All Aboriginal groups have stories relating to the Sky Figures and there is a commonality between tribal groups over large distances, indicating a relationship between all Aboriginal people.
