Hanging Rock, so overrated. :(

I went for a ride on my bike out to Hanging Rock this morning. I just don't see what the fuss is about. Why would you want to have a picnic here?

The above image is hanging from one of the signs pointing to Hanging Rock. It appealed to my sense of humour.

Here is the real hanging rock.

Think they frown upon posting photos of schoolgirls here :)

Nice shot of the Rocks and had a laugh at the first shot.

I remembered seeing the Hanging Rock wine label also. Do they have wineries in that area?

The first pic is the local weather bureau - as the rock wasn't wet, you can assume it wasn't raining ;)

Nice humour in your post - thanks :)

IIRC, I believe so.

The Macedon Ranges where Hanging Rock is has become Victoria's premier cool climate wine region. There are dozens of wineries around here.

Hanging Rock Wines

Did you get up close to the rocks blinkblink? I found it to be quite a spooky and impressive place when I visited a few years ago...

Not this time. I just rode past. I went up there last year. Worthwhile I thought.

Everytime I go to Melbourne my wife asks if I'll stop there on the way back - after a hundred or so trips we still haven't been :roll:
I guess I need to plan a trip there, rather than trying to fit it in on the return journey.
