Hanging Rock - Macedon Ranges Disappear to Hanging Rock at Mt Macedon in the Macedon Ranges of Victoria The mysterious Hanging Rock, originally know as Mt Diogenes, then Dryden's Rock, is an iconic rock formation at the foothills of Mt Macedon on the outskirts of Melbourne, Victoria. Be rewarded with a visit to Hanging Rock Recreation Reserve and enjoy its picturesque walks and magnificent views of Mt Macedon. Hanging Rock has a mysterious history, reputedly a refuge for bushrangers such as the notorious Mad Dan Morgan, namesake of Hanging Rock's Morgan's Lookout and Morgan's Blood Waterfall. The 'mystery' of Hanging Rock was made internationally famous by Peter Weir's film Picnic at Hanging Rock, based on a novel written by Joan Lindsay - a tall tale about the mysterious disappearance of a group of local school girls and their governess during a picnic excursion at Hanging Rock in the 1900's. A belief that contributes to the eerie mystery of Hanging Rock, is that it is protected by an Aboriginal spirit which gaurds it from unwelcome intruders. The Aboriginal history, culture and art work can be experienced at West Rock Farm, only a short drive from Hanging Rock. Mystery aside, the Hanging Rock Recreation Reserve is well worth an overnight or extended stay in the region. You can enjoy a range of festivals, celebration and sporting events that are held at the Reserve including, the Hanging Rock Picnic, the Vintage, Veteran and Classic Car Display, and the famous Hanging Rock Races on New year's day. Picnic horse races at Hanging Rock have become a popular tourist attraction. Hanging Rock Recreation Reserve also caters for a range of activities from horse racing, studying native flora and fauna, bushwalks, the hanging Rock Night Walk, sport on the ovals and tennis courts, and of course the great Aussie BBQ and picnic. There are plenty of picnic areas at the Reserve for visitors - wine, dine and take in the magnificent views of Hanging Rock or alternatively, enjoy a meal at the Picnic Café.
