I live about an hour away from Hanging Rock. Growing up in the 70s and
80s everyone my age 100% assumed that Picnic was based on a true
story.
There's a final chapter of the book that was originally excised, that
turns it into extremely trippy SF complete with wormholes and talking
shapeshifters. Doubt they'll go there with the TV series.
