- Summary:
-
The landform of Hanging Rock has provided a rich trove of images for artists, novelists and film-makers. Until now however, the history of Hanging Rock has never been properly told. This publication fills that gap: the stories of traditional Aboriginal owners, Hanging Rock's geology, flora and fauna, European imagining of this strange place, and farming and leisure uses of Hanging Rock. The Rock has had a profound impact on Australian cultural identity and detailed research has located much new material and information. This history explores the cultural significance of Hanging Rock to its Indigenous custodians. Did school girls go missing? Is Hanging Rock a unique geological formation? This history explores all this and more.
