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.
Grab a coffee on the way if the van is there. You will see where they dump their coffee grounds.
Muggle warning – may be difficult on game days & is close to a busy road so please keep an eye on the geokids. You are looking for an Eclipse mint tin. Please BYO pen. Please take care to remember where you find it so it can be replaced properly. Thank you.
