    New Category proposal: ‘Remote 4WD Campsites of Interest’

    I would like some feedback on the above-proposed waymark. I’ve created the below details for review.

    Describe your waymark category in one or two sentences (no html):
    This group is interested in campsites that require the use of (or recommend the use of) a 4WD to reach. Therefore, the campsites in this category would be considered remote and not typically accessed by hikers, or day-trippers etc. The campsites should also have a specific aspect of interest such as a significant view, linked to a point in history, and/or a land formation of interest etc.

    For example: Coongie Lakes in central Australia would fit this category. It is a lake in the desert country of South Australia. This lake attracts a huge population of bird life. Innaminka is the closest town and is 85km away. The only way that a typical person would be able to reach this location is by 4WD. The closest capital city is Adelaide and it is 1167km away.


    Please define the waymark that should be placed in this category:
    The waymark should identify either your favorite campsite in this location, or the location that best represents the special feature of this location (i.e. At Coongie lakes there is a significant sand dune that disappears directly into the lake – It has a great view of the lake and is a spectacular spot to watch the sun rise).


    Please list any specific requirements for posting a new waymark in this category (optional; these instructions will be displayed on the waymark entry page):
    Details of why this waymark should be posted to this category. For example: Coongie lake is a remote lake near Sturts Stony Desert in far Northern South Australia. The lake has water all year round and is a bird watches paradise, as it is a haven for many species of birds.

    A requirement for recording a visit to this waymarker is a picture of at least one of the following:
    · A photo of the one of your party and the sign at the entrance of the camping area.
    · A picture of your campsite at the edge of the lake.
    · A picture of a view of the lake from one of the sand dunes.


    Cheers,
    Ric
