We took a trip out to Hanging Rock, I really wanted to visit after
reading “A Picnic at Hanging Rock” and watching the very eerie film as a child.
We arrived too late to get any closer although we did get stopped by the police
who wanted to know why we were stopped on the highway. Were firebugs in the
area and apparently our behaviour was suspicious. Martyn explained that I was a
pom who was excited to see the Kangaroos on the racetrack and we were soon on
our way. It was really interesting staying in this area as bush fires are a
constant threat especially when temperatures get as high as they have been. It’s
unbelievable to think that there are people who start them deliberately.
