Picnic at Hanging Rock

I love both the novel and film versions of Picnic at Hanging Rock. It's a very haunting story that stays in your mind afterwards. It was written by Joan Lindsay and adapted to film by director Peter Weir in 1975, starring Anne-Louise Lambert as Miranda. Here are some photos from the film (I included quite a few because it was too hard to decide which to cut out). It is beautifully shot and the costumes are so lovely. I particularly love Miranda's white dress and Irma's brilliant red cape.


On St Valentine's Day in 1900 a party of schoolgirls set out to picnic at Hanging Rock...

... Some were never to return...
