Keep the cameras rolling! On 3 May Hanging Rock hosted the cast and crew of the “Ride Like a Girl” film as the set for country racing venues in the movie about 2015 Melbourne-Cup-winning jockey Michelle Payne. Actors Rachel Griffiths (directing), Sam Neil, Teresa Palmer and numerous others with extras spent a day recreating Michelle’s early racing experiences, and Snowy was there looking on.

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of one of Hanging Rock’s most beloved kangaroos, Snowy. Snowy called Hanging Rock home for nearly twenty years. She was rescued from the pouch after her mother was hit by a car and was cared for by a local wildlife rescuer until she was old enough to be released back to the mob which lives around Hanging Rock. Over time the rangers noticed the pale-grey kangaroo kept following them around. Even though Snowy spent most of her time in the reserve amongst humans, she was still very much part of the mob as she had many joeys over her life. She’ll be sadly missed.
