The main points of: This miniseries carries on a possibly true urban legend that's fascinated Australia for decades

The urban legend related to the book blurs the line between fact and fiction.

The Rock has become a popular tourist destination.

Some people will yell out Miranda's name when they have climbed the rock.

(Which could maybe set up another movie? Imagine enough people having yelled her name that Miranda actually appears in present time. The story could examine how she has become real even though she was a fictional character, how she has no idea what happened to anyone else and how she tries to adjust to being a fictional person brought into a reality that is massively different from the time she was supposedly alive. It would also look into how scientists would try to explain how the Rock, or something related to it, brought a fictional character into reality and the implications that might have.)

The article goes into how the story was written.

Lindsay claims that she found an article about two girls disappearing from the area in the late 1800's.
