The Cathedral Range State Park (Taungurung: Nanadhong)[1] located in Victoria, Australia, approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) north-east of Melbourne.[2] It is situated between the towns of Buxton and Taggerty and runs parallel to the Maroondah Highway.[2] The Cathedral Range was declared a State Park on 26 April 1979.[3] It consists of 3,577 hectares[4] and contains the rugged Razorback and spectacular peaks of the Cathedral Range, Little River and forested hills of the Blue Range.[3] Due to its proximity to Melbourne the Cathedral Ranges are a popular destination for both day and weekend adventures. Bushwalking, camping, rock climbing and abseiling are some of the more popular activities available.[3] Cathedral Range State Park is listed as Category II under the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas[5] and is an example of a park that can be used for recreation, education and conserving natural ecosystems.[3]
