picnic at hanging rock
#5
Hi Tamtam, the "final chapter" was published separately after the author's death under the title The Secret of Hanging Rock. It was the original ending to the story that was dropped when the book was initially published.

Though this is purely fiction the idea for the story came from an actual event. Three school girls did get lost on the rock but they turned up the next day on a neighbouring farm none the worse for wear.

The whole 'is it a true story or not' question was a brilliant marketing ploy. And the legends that have grown up around the rock itself over the years are no doubt a result of the story and not the other way around.
