Chris McConville, historian, lecturer and author of Hanging Rock - A History, published in 2017, will discuss his research, the book and areas that need further research.

Stories of traditional Aboriginal owners, Hanging Rock’s geology, flora and fauna, European imagining of this strange place, and farming and leisure uses of Hanging Rock remain enigmatic and mystical. Hanging Rock has had a profound impact on Australian cultural identity and continues to do so. Chris will discuss how history and contested interpretations have provided many mixed messages about this unique place.

Matthew Nickson, Hanging Rock Action Group and NDLG member, will address the latest developments regarding the ownership and future governance of Hanging Rock as well as the implementation of the Hanging Rock Precinct Master Plan. In doing so Matthew will outline historic community efforts to protect Hanging Rock.

Books will be available for purchase (cash only) and signing at our Landcare special price of $20 (normally $29.29). Don't forget $5 cash donation for a glass of wine.
