week forty seven | hanging rock, victoria

I love summer. My friends and I, being a mixture of students and teachers, also get random mid week days off together so we decided to celebrate but having a “picnic at Hanging Rock”.

For anyone that doesn’t understand that that phrase is actually a name of a movie let me explain. In 1975 a movie came out (with the same name) about a group of schoolgirls who went for a picnic on Valentines Day 1901 and some of the girls disappeared. Like, really just vanished behind a rock and never came back. 

The movie is massively creepy and it’s all pretty vague about whether the story is real or not.  In light of all that Jess, Clare and I set off ready to see the rock, eat some cheese and hopefully come back in order to tell you all about it.

It was a beautiful day; blue skies and quiet - we walked, took pictures, ate the aforementioned cheese and didn’t go missing. WIN.

This particular trip also came at a pretty tricky point for me so I’m so grateful for brilliant friends and Monday adventures.

Hanging Rock is just gorgeous and there are a number of beautiful rocks you can climb all over; there is also a gentler walk up to the Rock so it would be good for anyone regardless of age or ability level.


I would highly recommend Hanging Rock for picnics and day trips and would also highly recommend both Clare and Jess because they are lovely people to hang out with (especially at a “hanging” rock and also more generally).

TRIP RATING: 5/5 mysterious disappearances.
