Day
Trip to Hanging Rock
You
are cordially invited to join us in the Day Trip to Hanging Rock on 5th
October 2008 (Sunday)
to explore the history, mystery and geology of the rock and the
surrounding area.
Hanging Rock
is approximately 75 kilometres north west of Melbourne, along
the Calder Freeway. It rises 105 metres from the
plain and is a small steep-sided volcano known as a mamelon that was
formed six million years ago over a vent in the earth. The lava in
Hanging Rock has a particularly high soda content and over time
rainwater has created unusual rock formations such as the Black Hole
of Calcutta and the Cathedral. We can have wine tasting at the
Hanging Rock Winery and take a stroll or a challenging climb on the
rock-scaling pinnacles, squeezing through crevices, and scrambling up
and down slopes and rock faces.
