  On Saturday 14th February 1900 a party of schoolgirls from Appleyard College took a trip to Hanging Rock near Mt. Macedon in the state of Victoria. During the idyllic sun-drenched afternoon some of the party left the rest of the group and having climbed higher stopped to rest and fell asleep. They awoke as though still in a dream and silently ventured further through a passage in the imposing rock face. Some of the girls were never seen again. The film that established Peter Weir as a major filmmaker is a critically acclaimed classic of Australian cinema. With BAFTA-winning photography and a memorably haunting score Picnic at Hanging Rock remains one of the most chillingly atmospheric and beautifully enigmatic films ever made.

  Supposedly based on an actual event which remains unsolved to this day 'Picnic At Hanging Rock' is suffused with menace mysticism and languorous adolescent sensuality. In the year 1900 a group of schoolgirls set out on a St. Valentine's Day picnic from which two never returned. With this hauntingly beautiful film director Peter Weir marked the dawn of a new age in Australian cinema.
