Edited sentence: A far more detailed synopsis of the story is given in the main entry for the film version.All attempts by enthusiastic readers to find historical evidence of the event, characters, or even Appleyard College, have proved fruitless.Appleyard College was to some extent based on Clyde Girls' Grammar School at East St Kilda, Melbourne, which Joan Lindsay attended as a day-girl while in her teens.At her editor's suggestion, Lindsay removed it prior to publication.Chapter Eighteen, as it is known, was published posthumously in 1987 as The Secret of Hanging Rock by Angus & Robertson Publishing.However, while the geological feature, Hanging Rock, and the several towns mentioned are actual places near Mount Macedon, the story is entirely fictional.In fact, Lindsay's original draft included a final chapter in which the mystery was resolved.Incidentally, in 1919 this school was transferred to the town of Woodend, Victoria, about 8 km southwest of Hanging Rock.Lindsay has done little to dispel the myth that the story is based on truth, in many interviews either refusing to confirm it was entirely fiction, or hinting that parts of the book were fictitious, and others were not.The book suggests that the fictional site of Appleyard College, given its eastward view of Mount Macedon on the Bendigo-Melbourne Road, might have been on the western side of Calder Highway/Black Forest Drive (C792), about 2 to 4 km south of Woodend.The novel is written in the form of a false document, implying that it is based on a true story, and even begins and ends with a pseudo-historical prologue and epilogue, adding to the overall feeling of mystery.The unsolvable mystery of the disappearances was arguably the key to the success of both the book and the subsequent film.This aroused enough lasting public interest that in 1980, a book of hypothetical solutions (by Yvonne Rosseau) was published, called The Murders at Hanging Rock.Valentine's Day, 14 February 1900 was a Wednesday, not a Saturday as depicted in the story
