Geocache Description:

PBL must've driven past this little park literally hundreds of times, both as a commuter and now when driving a bus on the 283 route up and down the hill. Yet in all that time, he has never, ever, not even once, seen anyone using this park (although it gets mown regularly, so at least one Council worker's been here!)

This is fairly large for a micro (46cm long) but there's really not any room for anything other than the smallest swaps.


It's a couple of metres up, held on with magnets. (ALL caches should involve magnets!), so you'll need some basic equipment to retrieve and replace it.
A walking pole works well; one of the ones with the basket thingy that stops it sinking into sand or snow. Or, a pair of cleft sticks, perhaps. Or one of those grippers that old people and Council workers use to pick things up without bending.


I could only find one online reference to the Mick Conti who gave his name to this place, and it says about him:

Mick worked his Pickering Brook orchard with his wife Maria Alosi. They had 3 children: Louie (1945), Teresa (1949) and Grace (1959). Mick's contribution to the Hills - Mater Gratiae Church/School; San Leone Association - have been commemorated by Mick Conti Park, Lesmurdie.

Please park at the parking waypoint in Schunke Close, where you'll find a walkway down to the Park (say hello to the chooks as you go past!)
