Mt Tarrangower is within Maldon Historic Area Reserve, managed by Park Victoria.
I was hoping to hike from Maldon Town to Anzac Hill to Mount Tarrangower Lookout, but it was 1pm by the time we arrived at the Visitor Centre@Maldon, and got map of Maldon Historic Area Reserve.
After a light lunch, it was too late to hike. So, activated plan B, which was to drive to Mount Tarrangower Lookout, and drive to Anzac Hill (it's 4WD track between Mout Tarrangower Lookout and Anzac Hill).
Driving along the High Street, you'll see the Brown Tourist Sign "Mount Tarrangower" on your left. Turn Left and keep going straight, you'll come to Mount Tarrangower Lookout, the road is all sealed, by the way.

We followed the "Fountain Track" to go to the Anzac Hill. The track shown on the map above is "Adair Track", another 4x4 track. To go to Fountain Track, keep driving straight from the way you come from (you'll have Adair Track on your left, and the Lookout Tower on your right), you'll then see the track (it's well labled)

The view was nice, but didn't make me say "wah!!!!!!!". And I was glad I didn't do the hiking, as by judging the track, it would be a bit boring on foot. Driving to Anzac Hill was good though.
When we were there (on the Father's Day), Maldon was quiet and peaceful. the staff at Visitor Centre were very helpful and friendly.
We went to the playground behind the Visitor Centre after Anzac Hill. The kids enjoyed the play there.
On the way back to Melbourne, we stopped by at the Western Reserve@Castlemaine, there's a skate park there, and the reserve is offleash.
