Field trip

The field trip to Hanging Rock on 29th March 2009 was a great success. We had not held a field trip for some years and it was the best ever held, with 30 people sharing the beautiful day and lots of dowsing activity. Care was taken beforehand to ask permission to climb the Rock and for people to protect themselves. Our visitors were encouraged to look for Hartmann and Curry Grids and New Energy Lines relating to the recent energetic activity. Thanks to those who contacted us to say how much they appreciated the day and thought it was well organised.

Two DSV Members, Joan Evans and Mick Moran, wrote in detail to share their experiences of the Field Trip to Hanging Rock.

Joan attended with two dowsing friends and they were interested to compare an earlier visit to the location in 2003 with their dowsing instructor, internationally recognised, Eric Dowsett. The Saddle area was their main focus, as on the previous trip. They found sadness and a mixture of other energies which seemed to contribute to the sadness. Overall, they felt that there was a lack respect for this sacred site, however all three enjoyed the day and the opportunity to re-visit the area among other interested dowsers from the DSV.

Mick wrote to tell us that he was delighted to have the opportunity to dowse in a group of dowsers. On the way to the top they dowsed many energy fields. Mick had taken a number of gem stones to see if he could detect any signals. He found various responses which intrigued him and his friends. They also enjoyed the trip to the mysterious Straw’s Lane, the road where cars seem to roll up hill. Ever practical, Mick used his spirit level to prove that it was all an optical illusion, even though it really did seem that the cars – and even some water deliberately spilled on the roadway – appeared to travel up hill.

Hanging Rock (Mount Diogenes) is a rare volcanic formation of solvsbergite situated in the Hesket plains near the townships of Mount Macedon and Woodend in Victoria, Australia. It is the home of the Hanging Rock Cup and Races, and the setting of Joan Lindsay’s world renowned novel and film, “Picnic at Hanging Rock”, about the mysterious disappearance of a group of local school girls during a picnic excursion at the Rock in 1900.

The Rock is said to be one of the best examples in the world of a volcanic feature known as a mamelon. It was formed six million years ago when a particularly stiff type of lava formed around a pile of layers on the surface as it was squeezed through a narrow vent in the earth.
