Description
This cache is part of QOGM 2019's Turd Trail along the Neverfail Road. We trust you enjoy a caching experience with a little difference.
I read an article called Embarrassing English Errors Ep17 – Turd & Third, and thought - "could have a bit of fun with that!"
Hence the development of this series. It is just meant for a bit of fun.
All caches are actual cow pats which have been dried naturally, and coated with varnish for preservation. Please treat with care so others can enjoy the fun.
Transcript from Apollo 10 mission:
CDR Oh - Who did it?
CMP Who did what?
LMP What?
CDR Who did it?
(Laughter)
LMP Where did that come from?
CDR Give me a napkin quick. There's a turd floating through the air.
CMP I didn't do it. It ain't one of mine.
LMP I don't think it's one of mine.
During day 6 of NASA’s Apollo 10 moon mission in 1969, the three-man crew had a couple of close encounters with “turds,” which thanks to NASA’s mission transcript, have been recorded for posterity. You can read more here.

Thanks RoddyC for another cache in the series. You must have had so much fun researching this topic.
Today we headed out to complete the Heartland and Mailbox series. 250km round trip out of Blackall. We saw several graders, water trucks and rollers out on the roads. Also lots of cattle, Emu's with chicks, Kangaroos.and a white faced Heron.
Thanks.

It's a perfect camouflage in that area, and we loved it.

Found while attending QOGM 2019. A brilliant series of caches whose descriptions and names were obviously written by someone with a sharp, (or should that be warped?) mind/sense of humour. Very clever play on words at each cache. Thanks for these great caches RoddyC and 1Muggle (creating these caches must have been such fun for you!!!
Attending the QOGM event 2019 we teamed up with Cache Hunters to complete the Turd Trail.
Definately a close encounter of the turd kind and definately #2 in the series.
Many thanks RoddyC,1muggle and QOGM2019 for publishing and creating this cache and adding to our geocaching experience. A memorable trail that we all enjoyed.

What a great, fun series of caches. So much mirth along the way.
Thank you Muggle1 and RoddyC for your fantastic efforts.
This was our second encounter and provided us with some special information to keep as a reward for our efforts.
Great Camo. Very well done and a big thanks to those involved in the design, manufacture and placement.
This was our first geomuster, and I must say that I was quite overwhelmed initially, as designated data person, to be entering coords as we were driving along, so I didn't have time to relax and enjoy the journey until all coords were entered.
We participated with our friends Little Squirell. I hope they log these finds on GCA, as they are not avid Geocaching Australia members.
There was lots of fun and frivolity as Mrs Squirell read the e cache descriptions, and many funny escapades and photos ensued.
Thankyou RoddyC and the rest of the QOGM 2019 team for such a fun afternoon.
