Summary
Summary
This isn't a very exciting place. The Bicentennial National Trail winds through the area, but here it is just a wide, flattened grass trail.
Unfortunately, the more interesting terrain and flora is on private property on the other side of a barbed wire fence, while this reserve holding the Trail is basically just grassland.
You can follow the trail up to the suburb of Dunlop, and it will take you about 45 minutes. There isn't much to photograph on the trail itself unless you like grass and kilometres of fence.
There are no toilets here.

This reserve is to the side of Tillyard Drive in Fraser, just before the sharp right-hand turn where it becomes Kuringa Drive.
There are no obvious signs to look for, just the gravel parking area by the side of the road.
There's plenty of parking because it doesn't seem to be too popular, except with local people walking dogs.

The fence keeps you away from the trees and creek.
The track joins up with a bigger reserve at the back of Fraser Primary School.
One of the few shrubs
The trail takes you through grassland, with a few trees adjoining the fenceline.
The trail follows the fence line.
There is some excitement when you get to cross a cattle grid.
The reserve becomes a narrow strip between 2 barbed-wire fences.
I got the impression they don't see too many people.
When you reach Dunlop it feels like you've reached a little hamlet in the grassland.
Everything interesting is on the other side of a fence. Bizarrely, the other side of this fence is another public reserve. It seems like the barbed-wire fence is to stop people crossing from one public reserve to another.
