Cathedral Range State Park

Heritage

The range was declared a State Park in 1979 due to its outstanding landscape features and diverse woodland types. It also protects significant pre and post European historic sites. A visit to Cooks Mill timber mill site and the adjacent nature walk by the pictursque Storm Creek will enhance the interested visitors understanding of this highly accessible park.

Fauna

Satin bowerbirds may be seen at the base of the range, beside the Little River. Koalas can be seen throughout the valley area, particularly along the nature walk at Cooks Mill. Their bullet-shaped droppings can be seen under the manna gums and at night their loud, pig-like grunting calls can be heard.

Precautions

Do not place tents or cars directly below trees, even the small wattles.

During winter snow falls, hail and lightning occur on higher peaks. Please go prepared. Walking tracks can be difficult to find in snow.

Many of the walking tracks in the park are rough and steep. Be especially careful when walking on rocky ground after rain or snow as rocks will become particularly slippery.
