Hanging Rock (Mt. Diogenes) is a rare volcanic formation located near the townships of Woodend & Mount Macedon in Victoria, Australia.

It is home of the Hanging Rock Cup & Races, and setting of the world renown novel & film Picnic at Hanging Rock.

Traditionally country races are a great day out and social gatherings with family friends and work colleges and we are pleased to say that the tradition continues at the Rock.
