Why the lost daughters of Picnic at Hanging Rock still haunt us

The original article can be found here.

The main points of the article include:

Screen Australia came u with $3 million dollars to support female filmmakers.
The article talks about the novel and the film.
The article refers to an Australian mythology of the lost child.
This concerns the children of settlers who ended up in the Australian bush.
The indigenous people don't climb the rock since they consider it taboo.
Hanging Rock is a sacred site.
Picnic at Hanging Rock is a gothic horror that examines 'the social horrors enacted upon women and young girls at the time.'
The movie, etc, has resulted in protests by some who feel that interest should be in the indigenous people's history instead of a fiction account of what happened to some white girls. (In the Amazon series one girl is part aborigine.)
