This large area is full of bus-sized boulders pointing out at various angles, the general area is very slabby and therefore encourages people to not explore too much. If you do explore you could find some hidden gems though as there are climbable boulders all through this area.
Access issues
Allowed
The road in to Jawbone Carpark can be quite bumpy and is prone to trees falling down across the road, but the road isn't that bad - still very manageable in a 2WD. The Jawbone Creek track has a grade of 4 which means, bush-walking experience recommended as tracks may be rough and steep. Once you get to the boulder area there are several boulders that are close but many more that take a little exploration.
Approach
Gentle
Steep hike
20-30 min
These boulders are right next to the track. Take the Maroondah Highway/B360 to Buxton, turn right onto Buxton-Marysville Rd/C508. From there it should be signposted but turn left onto Mt Margret Rd, from there continue along until you reach Jawbone Carpark. Take Jawbone Creek Track along until you get to some large boulder above/right of you, this is your destination.
Where to stay
The best places to stay are at one of the campsites in the Range but if you want more comfort then your best bet would be to stay in a surrounding town. Place like Taggerty, Marysville and Buxton have various places to stay and are all about 10-20kms from the Cathedral Range.
