Keith Hume Fraser Reserve has 2 ovals used for soccer in winter and cricket in the summer, a children’s playground, and a coffee stop (sometimes); it is the home of the Montrose Soccer Club. Beyond the sports ovals there is a beautiful 200 metre deep strip of natural bushland which is rarely visited. It is a great spot to find native wildflowers, bush plants, and the splendid blue wren.
There is a pretty little creek running through the reserve with the alluring name of the Cardigan Road Drain which feeds into Olinda creek. Sometimes it is underground and sometimes above. The playground is set back from the busy road, and has activity equipment. There are seats and a table close by.
There are several hides in the reserve.
GZ is located at the now abandoned Montrose Tennis Club. The club is now located at the Montrose Recreation Reserve.
These club rooms were more recently used by the Mooroolbark Men's Shed,
With the passage of time, many of the fences and gates that formed a maze-like puzzle to get to GZ have been removed, so finding a path to the cache is less convoluted than it once was.
Tread carefully as some of the surfaces are slippery when wet.
The container has no room for swaps, and you'll need to BYO pen.
Please replace the cache as found for the enjoyment of the next finder.
NOTE: There may be a barking dog nearby but the owner has been contacted and it is securely fenced in.
