Problems Creating Simple RewriteRule

Question

I am trying to attempt something that should be pretty easy but I just can't get it working. My experience of Mod_Rewrite is fairly limited.

I have the following site structure:

webapps/myapp/public
webapps/myapp/private
webapps/myapp/.htaccess

I want the .htaccess file to internally redirect all browser requests to the public folder so (with a lot of help from Google) now have this:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^myapp\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/ [NC]
RewriteRule  ^(.*)$ /public/$1 [L]

This works fine for e.g. http://myapp.com/index.html?hello=world and the query string is preserved however for http://myapp.com or http://myapp.com/ the browser is redirected to http://myapp.com/public/ and I just don't understand why...

Any pointers gratefully received...
