Hello Everyone!
A few days ago, my friend Jordan and I took a trip to Hanging rock. I thought I'd take this opportunity to get some fantastic shots and share my experience with you all!
For those of you who are unsure, Hanging Rock is located in the Macedon ranges in Central Victoria. It's a distinctive volcanic formation that is 718m high (2,356 ft.) and was created over 6 million years ago. It's named after a large boulder suspended over the entrance to the rock that appears to be, yep.. hanging!
The rock is commonly known as the mysterious place where 4 school girls and their teacher went missing in the novel 'Picnic at hanging rock' - written by Joan Lindsay. This story absolutely fascinates me! -If you'd like to read more about the legend, I've provided a link here!
I was super excited to be able to climb the rock but was a little nervous- I'm certainly not a mountain climber and I wasn't sure I'd be fit enough to reach the summit! By taking it slowly, I was able to reach my goal of completing the climb! Even if it weren't possible, there were still a few rest stops a long the way that all had great views too!

Wow, it's so scenic there! Your photos are beautiful. I wish I could share a recent mountain climbing experience, but as hilly as Bristol may be, I can't really say there's any mountains round here!
