Description

Stop, Rest and Revive is a series of caches placed along the Stuart Highway in the Northern Territory by TeamGeoPlesk. With the permission of TeamGeoPlesk I am expanding the coverage. These caches aim at breaking up the long and often very uneventful journeys throughout the Territory. I hope that you enjoy the caches and that you take the opportunity to Stop, Rest and Revive during your travels.

SRR - Prowse Gap

Prowse Gap Camping Area is beside the Stuart Highway and has room for less than a dozen caravans, camper trailers, camper vans and tents, but is still popular with the grey nomads and other travellers on the Stuart Highway, particularly for breaks.

Facilities in the camp area as at August 2009 include a shelter, 2 picnic tables, a water tank, fireplaces, and a few rubbish bins.

To log this virtual, simply take a photo of your GPS either in front of the "Prowse Gap" sign or in a place that clearly identifies the facilities at Prowse Gap.

A physical cache container was not placed at this location as there are very few cachers in this region and maintenance can be very tedious, if at all possible.

#GA1499 - 13:05; Day 16 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune, albida33 and fitzy_1965. The Mega was now done and dusted and we were headed north again. The plan for the day was to reach Tennant Creek, caching along the way. This cache gave us another opportunity to stop and stretch our legs, which we did as we gathered the required snaps.
