Cathedral Range State Park

Cathedral Range State Park features a rugged, rocky ridge of sharply upturned sedimentary rock, 7km long. The 3577ha State Park offers you the chance to camp by a clear mountain stream surrounded by the splendour of the Cathedral Range and its spectacular peaks. The park is about 100km north east of Melbourne, east of Maroondah Highway between the small towns of Taggerty and Buxton. The main approach is along Cathedral Lane, signposted on the Highway.

The park is ideal for walking, rock climbing and photography. The most popular walk in the park, along the range between Sugarloaf Peak and Cathedral Peak and Little Cathedral, can include an overnight camp at ‘The Farmyard’, named after the lyrebirds in the area which imitate domestic stock from the valley farms below.
