Hanging Rock Car Club Picnic postponed

The 27th annual Macedon Ranges Car Club Picnic scheduled for Hanging Rock this Sunday - 9th Feb 2014 has been postponed.

The Club and Council in consultation with regional emergency services and authorities have made the decision based on the extreme weather conditions currently forecast for Sunday with potential extreme fire danger, strong winds and storms.

Whilst the decision was made reluctantly public safety was the prime consideration with the very real risk of fire impacting on the 10,000 plus crowd. The strong winds also had the potential to cause serious injury especially as the nature of the event is to picnic at your car under the trees.

Hanging Rock will also be closed on Sunday in the interests of public safety.

The club will work with Council to attempt to reschedule the event over the next month or so.
