Red Hand Cave
If you go to the Blue Mountains in New South Wales, be sure to call into the National Park at Glenbrook, where you can see the Red Hand Cave. It was closed to the public until 1987, when a perspex shield was put over it to stop people vndalising it with their own sugnatures - isn't that sad? It is a rare piece of Aboriginal cave art from the time of the Dharug people, who were all but wiped out in the Blue Mountains.

I must do some research on these caves Gail. Hands have always been very potent symbols.
