There are a handful of locations across the Central Highlands that offer climbing routes. The majority of rock formations in the region originated in the Devonian period around 400 million years ago and take form as granite outcrops. Situated on the Western rim of the Cerberean Caldera, Cathedral Ranges is a favourite destination that has a number of different cliffs and spectacular tilted sandstone rock formations. The 25km wide Caldera was created after a cataclysmic volcanic eruption some 373 million years ago that played a major role in shaping the landscape of the Central Highlands we see today.
We propose adding 355,000 hectares of protected forests to the Central Highlands of Victoria to form the Great Forest National Park
Currently there is only 170,000 hectares of parks and protected areas in the Central Highlands of Victoria
Help support our work in expressing the conservation needs and compelling opportunities that we could address through the establishment of the Great Forest National Park for Victoria.
How to DonateThe Great Forest National Park is a large complex proposal, covering environmental impacts and the conservation of wildlife, economic benefits to the area and more. Visit our FAQ for more information.
