Description
Hanging Rock is the location for the Annual Picnic at Hanging Rock vehicle display event run by the Macedon Ranges & District Motor Club on the 2nd Sunday in February each year.
Hanging Rock is also well known from Joan Lindsay's narrative Picnic at Hanging Rock and the film made of the story – about the mysterious disappearance of a group of local school girls during a picnic excursion at the Rock in 1900.
In 1886, the "Rock" was purchased by the State Government and joined to the local water reserve to become the Hanging Rock Recreation Reserve, controlled by the local Shire Council.
Hanging Rock is located in a rural setting approximately 80km (1 hour) to the north of Melbourne.
It is easily accessed from the A79 Calder Freeway which passes by on the eastern side of Woodend.
You can also access the Rock via Mt Macedon or from the M31 Hume Highway by turning off at Kilmore and travelling through Lancefield, or alternatively from Wallan via Romsey
