The Cathedral Range State Park is located in Victoria, Australia, approximately north-east from Melbourne.〔Parks Victoria (1998). Cathedral Range State Park: draft management plan. Parks Victoria, Kew, Victoria〕 It is situated between the towns Buxton and Taggerty and runs parallel to Maroondah Highway.〔 The Cathedral Range was declared a State Park on 26 April 1979.〔Parks Victoria (1998). Cathedral Range State Park: management plan. Parks Victoria〕 It consists of 3,577 hectares〔Parks Victoria (2013). Cathedral Range State Park visitor guide. Parks Victoria.〕 and contains the rugged Razorback and spectacular peaks of the Cathedral Range, Little River and forested hills of the Blue Range.〔 Due to its close 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.〔 Cathedral Range State Park is listed as Category II under the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas〔"Collaborative Australian Protected Area Database CAPAD08". Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Populations and Communities, Commonwealth of Australia. 2008. Retrieved 29 January 2012.〕 and is an example of a park that can be used for recreation, education and conserving natural ecosystems.〔 ==History== European settlement of the Acheron area begun in 1839 when they selected land for the Acheron Run.〔 The Taggerty Run was selected for 7 years after the Acheron Run in 1846. This area included the Cathedral Range area.〔Taylor, R. (1999). Wild places of greater Melbourne. CSIRO Publishing, Canberra〕 The Taggerty Run consisted of difficult country and was described as being ‘completely in the ranges'.〔Macdonald, J. (2009). James Watson and ‘Flemington': a gentleman's estate. Journal of the C J La Trobe Society 8: 21–25〕 This difficult country of rocky soils and steep slopes discouraged the settlers from building there, so instead the land was grazed until the 1930s when wild dogs became destructive.〔 Soon after grazing in the Cathedral Range area ended, logging and milling occurred in the 1930s to the 1970s in the Little River and Storm Creek catchments.〔 In 1938 the Cathedral Mill, now known as Cooks Mill, was established near the junction of Little River and Storm Creek.〔 The mill ceased operating in 1955,〔 however logging continued until late 1971.〔Evans, P. (1995). Rails to Rubicon. Light Rail Preservation Society of Australia〕 Remnants of Cooks Mill remain at the Cathedral Range State Park and is protected as a historic site.〔
