In a groundbreaking study released this week, geologists confirmed that Hanging Rock is far too introverted to hang out despite its misleading name.
“We invited Hanging Rock over to hang and play some Playstation,” said local organiser Barry Granite, “but it never showed up. We just assumed it was stuck up.”
The geologists’ findings have prompted a reevaluation of Hanging Rock’s behaviour. “It’s not that Hanging Rock doesn’t want to participate,” explained Dr Malaka. “It just needs more time to recharge. It’s a classic case of geological introversion.”
Local tour guides have already adapted their scripts to accommodate the new understanding. “Please respect Hanging Rock’s personal space,” one guide said. “It’s not ignoring you; it’s just recharging it’s chi.”
In response to the news, the nearby Mount Macedon has reportedly offered to “swing by for a chat,” but sources confirm Hanging Rock remains unmoved.
Efforts to coax Hanging Rock out of its shell have included organising music festivals and car shows. However, Hanging Rock continues to remain steadfastly committed to its solitary existence.
Geologists are now focusing on the next mystery: whether Uluru is a morning rock or just hates tourists.
The answer is no picnic.
