In the early 1900s, Miranda attends a girls boarding school in Australia. One Valentine's Day, the school's typically strict headmistress treats the girls to a picnic field trip to an unusual but scenic volcanic formation called Hanging Rock.

Mentions

Here's Everything That Sold Out During the Sale 231 Film no. 955 - Unmistakably Peter Weir’s brilliant and magical atmosphere as I could still remember from ‘Picnic At Hanging Rock’. The dinner scene where we first met Chris Lee is spellbinding. I love the idea of the Dream Time. Maybe I start to believe in it ;) 9
