Stencilled hands at the Tombs, a sacred area used as a burial site by the Aboriginal inhabitants of the region. Vandals and grave robbers had desecrated the spot by 1902 before archeologists had a chance to study them. But there is still some stencil art under a sandstone overhang, including some freehand paintings of kangaroo feet. Mount Moffatt Section, Carnarvon National Park, Central Queensland, Australia
