    Great for a picnic or a few hours out of the house. Steep walk up, go in mild weather. Great scenery.

    It's a hoax there's is no picnic in hanging rock. These girls did not vanish and it's not real at all.

    The fate of the young girls who vanished during a Picnic at Hanging Rock remains as mysterious and unknowable as it was at the 1975 premiere of Peter Weir's masterpiece.
