As far as I am aware they never published Picnic at Hanging Rock with the original ending. The original ending is available seperately as The Secret of Hanging Rock.
I don't know for sure why the ending was changed but I suspect it was for publicity purposes. The vague ending leaving a mystery yet to be solved and a sense that the story might have been a true one-the original ending leaves no doubt that this is a work of fiction.
