Statement of Significance
The Mt Tarrengower, Nuggetty Ranges and Peg Leg-Porcupine Diggings area is of State significance because of its landscape quality, cultural associations and botanical interest.
The ranges viewed from Maldon form a striking backdrop for the town and emphasize the strong cultural relationship between the township and the landscape. Vegetation cover varies from open woodland with natural grassy openings to regrowth coppice forest on turned-over soil. Of particular botanical interest is the rare plant Zieria aspalathoides, once recorded on Mt Tarrengower. Serrated ridges and rock outcrops characterise the granite northern and western slopes. Relic landscapes provide much evidence of early gold rush activity.
LOCATION:
The hills are contiguous with Maldon to the west and north of the town.
