==Overview== Although the events depicted in the novel are entirely fictional, it is framed as though it were a [[Non-fiction|true story]], corroborated by ambiguous [[Pseudohistory|pseudohistorical]] references. Its unresolved conclusion has sparked significant public, critical, and scholarly analysis, and the narrative has become a part of Australia's national [[folklore]] as a result. Lindsay claimed to have written the novel over two weeks at her home Mulberry Hill in [[Baxter, Victoria|Baxter]], on [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]]'s [[Mornington Peninsula]], after having successive dreams of the narrated events. An excised final chapter of the novel was published posthumously as part of a book titled ''[[#The Secret of Hanging Rock|The Secret of Hanging Rock]]'', which also included critical commentary and theories about the novel. Another book, titled ''The Murders at Hanging Rock'', was published in 1980, proposing varying other interpretations. The novel has been adapted into other media, most famously in the 1975 critically well-received [[Picnic at Hanging Rock (film)|film of the same name]] by director [[Peter Weir]].
