Mt Tarrengower

Map suitability: Long distance or middle distance, depending upon the parts of the map used.

Land Manager: Parks Victoria

Access issues: Various sections of the original map have been fenced and alienated from public use over time. These are reflected in the 2016 update.

Assembly sites:

1- Butts Reserve. Good parking, a shelter and toilets makes this a favoured start. Its favoured by other groups as well so you will need to check with other bookings. One disadvantage is the unavoidable climb from the start to any terrain. Competitor Instructions.

2- Watersons Rd. No longer suitable

3- Lawrence St. A start near the intersection of Lawrence St and Parkin St allows for good long distance style course setting on the east side of the mount. Closest to the coffee shops of Maldon. Ensure the latest map version is used as land alienation is ongoing on the eastern side of the mountain. Competitor Instructions.

4- South Parkins Reef Rd. Access to south of the mount. Less useful with the fencing of a large block of land to the east.

5- Mount Back Road. Good for southern granite, but limited parking and possibly inaccessible in wet weather. Competitor Instructions.

Safety Issues:

Some cliffs in the south of the map. In wet weather rock can be slippery. Studded shoes advisable in wet conditions.

Map status: Mapped in 1997 by Alex Tarr. Since then there has been a series of updates, correcting scale inaccuracies, track changes and fencing of private land (2010, 2012, 2016, 2017). Despite its age the map is very useable. Care needed with vegetation
