The Cathedral Range State Park (Taungurung: Nanadhong)[1] located in Victoria, Australia, approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) north-east of Melbourne.

[7] 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.

[6] 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.

[8] Remnants of Cooks Mill remain at the Cathedral Range State Park and is protected as a historic site.

[3] Aboriginal Affairs Victoria have recorded two sites, one containing a scarred tree and the other an isolated artefact, in the Cathedral Range State Park.

[3] The Cathedral Ranges consist of sandstone and shale that were laid down over 400 million years ago[10] during the Upper Silurian period.

[6] The eastern side of the State Park borders onto the Cerberean Caldera, formed by a volcanic eruption approximately 374 million years ago.

[2] Storm Creek intercepts with Little River near Cooks Mill, located in the Cathedral Range State Park.

[6] A community noted to be significant found in the State Park is the existence of myrtle beech (Nothofagus cunninghamii) with the woolly tea-tree (Leptospermum lanigerum).

[3] The varying vegetation, climates, rivers and landforms in the park have created an area rich in habitats for native animals.

[18] Common animals observed in the park include the common wombat (Vombatus ursinus), eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus), the superb lyrebird (Menura novaehollandiae), peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) and satin bowerbird (Ptilonorhynchus violaceus).

[20] It is found in the wet ash forests of Victoria and has become endangered due to logging, recurrent bushfires and the decline of large trees containing hollows.

[3] The Cathedral Range State Park's biodiversity is threatened by introduced flora and fauna and pathogens.

These pests plants are blackberry, tutsan (Hypericum androsaemum), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) and Monterey pine (Pinus radiata).

[3] Surveys have found that a large number of Australian animals are killed each year as a result of introduced predators.

[3] It is caused by a fungus, Chalara australia, that infects myrtle beech trees and results in their gradual death.

Management of the park concentrates on the conserving the natural, cultural and scenic features while still providing for a range of recreational activities for visitors.

It preserves the cultural heritage and natural ecosystems of the area and provides protection for some rare communities and species while allowing the public to enjoy the spectacular landscape.
