Map of Site Report: Hanging Rock, Australia

2025-12-01: We stopped to get a snack on the way to Bendigo. After a trip to the grocery store to buy 5 jars of Vegemite, we followed some signs to nearby Hanging Rock. We were greeted at the picnic area by some very eager parrots and cockatoos among others. After the picnic, we walked up to the top of the rock. Later, we learned that some girls went missing here, which eventually became a movie. We watched the movie later, strange movie...
