The Miniseries Carries on a Possibly True Urban Legend That's Fascinated Australia for Decades

The main points of the article include:

The question is whether or not Picnic at Hanging Rock is a true story.

That started with the publication of the book and was reinforced by the movie and the Amazon series.

Hanging Rock is a real place and is a tourist attraction.

Some people cry out 'Miranda' when visiting the area.

There is a Discovery Center at the base of the rock.

The article covers how dreams influenced the writing of the novel.

There was supposed an article about two schoolgirls disappearing from the area in the 1800's.

(Which brings up this question. If such an article did exist then why hasn't it been copied by some researcher and put online? Also, the girls disappearing in the movie on the date cited is total fiction. If there were any truth to it then that would have been uncoverd and published, but it hasn't.)
