So, sorry to say, but the events of the story probably aren’t true. Also, Appleyard College doesn’t seem to be real either, though it might be based on Clyde Girls’ Grammar School, which Lindsay attended when she was younger. For example, the day of the week Valentine’s Day fell on was wrong, and so was the stated date of Easter Sunday that year. Joan Lindsay has a history of not giving straight answers to the question, not even to Peter Weir, and some of the story’s inaccuracies make the events unlikely to be true.ĭates mentioned in the story weren’t entirely accurate to the real 1900. So, is Picnic at Hanging Rock a true story? Did those three really mysteriously disappear from Hanging Rock? Though there were more searches in the years that followed the incident, the students and teacher that disappeared on Valentine’s Day were never seen again.
In addition to all of that, strange events continued to happen around the members of Appleyard College, with some of them perishing in a fire and others found dead, apparently from suicide.
Organised searches for the three students and their teacher were carried out, but only Irma was ever found. When she returned to the picnic, she was in hysterics, and she had no memory of what had happened on the monolith. At first, only Edith returned from the climb.
