Well you're talking to someone who's also read the book and seen the other two versions (yes, I count the unfinished film student version from 1969). I've also read the "Missing Chapter" and it sucks. The only thing I have left to do as a fan of this story is ACTUALLY visit Hanging Rock!
There are MANY ways to interpret the '75 film and the book (it's one of my favourite books AND one of my favourite films. The 2018 miniseries...isn't. The 1969 one...is video art these days) - from "the UK losing it's grip on the colonies" to "repressed sexuality" to "man vs nature." It's a story of people struggling to understand a horrific event no one could've predicted.
The missing chapter...I feel like saving that until you experience at least one version of the story because it's one of those "if you know the story, you TRULY GET why it was a letdown!"
