For an opportunity to see one of the most famous Aboriginal
heritage sites in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, Red Hands
Cave walking track is the route you're looking for.
Head out from Resolute
picnic area on this easy bush track to see
rock art of the Aboriginal people of this area.
Arriving after a short walk through the red gums, you’ll discover the
cave with ochre hand-prints. Pause for a moment to reflect on the lives of the people whose palms are now immortalised. The Aboriginal people of this area are part of a nation that extended from
Broken Bay in the north to
Port Jackson in the south and as far south-west as Lane Cove River. There are six clans within the nation, and it’s the Garrigal who lived at West Head.
Retrace your steps, or if you’re inspired to experience more, continue on the Aboriginal
Heritage walk for another 4km before returning back where you started at Resolute
picnic area.
