Travel Day to Sydney via Red Hands Cave

On our way from Blue Mountains to Port Douglas via a flight from Sydney to Cairns. En route to Sydney, we found an interesting site called Red Hands Cave that has 1,600 year old aboriginal hand paintings. It's the oldest historic site we have seen on the trip; the cave is significant as it was a ceremonial cave for the initiation of young warriors.
