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.
This person is the narrator who delivers the point of view of the cache.
A first person narrator
uses the pronoun "I" to tell the story, and can be either a major or minor character.
It may be easier for a reader to relate to a story told in a first person account.
"I created this cache so others can enjoy the scenery here."
A second person narrator
uses the pronoun "you" and is not used very often since it makes the reader a participant in the story (and you, as reader, may be reluctant to be in the action!).
"You will enjoy the scenery here at this cache."
A turd person narrator
uses euphemisms and does not take part in the story. Sometimes it can be quite punny (OR NOT!):
"If you find money at GZ, is it part of your Cacheback Reward Program?"

Certanly not a Turd Person Narrative for us. We found this one in the open. The cache container had shed most of its turds but was otherwise in tact. After signing the log we returned the container to the shelter of the base of the nearest tree.
Thanks for this cache RoddyC. This was the turd Turd for us today.

Full time nomads since 2013. Still tootling around the country trying to avoid Covid hotspots.
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.

Queensland Outback Geomuster 2019 trip to Blackall. Day 4. Today was my first day of organised events I joined Baby&MrsGopher, Au.fait and Trekker Trev. The highlight of the day was the series of caches in the morning with a unique flavor. I hope they eventually get published in one form or another. The afternoon was spent around Tambo before the evening get together at the pub. Two evening caches were visited before a longish drive home.
Thanks.

Early October, we attended the QOGM events in Blackall. As part of the fun, we did this Turd Degree. It was great, and we could not believe that in earlier times these containers were natural Turd.
It's a perfect camouflage in that area, and we loved it.

Sorry for the generic log RoddyC, but not only saves me writing, if I could remember individual caches, but it saves you reading too.
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!!!

Does not matter who puts the first log in on this series. I hope all the Geocachers who found the original 16 are members or will join GCA to claim the golden smiley
for the series, especially the lucky people who were given the right to claim to find on individual hides. I was part of the placement team for the series and we had a laugh and a ball placing these.

Found during the muster taking the back way to Tambo during QOGM 2019. The first person was driving the car, finding the caches, flipping them over to extract and replace the log, then log online 
Enjoyed the creative containers and had a great morning out navigating, finding and driving through the country.

A group of 4 (3 teams) departed Blackall this morning in the chariot propelled by 4 pistons with one objective. That being to earn our Turd Degrees or is that now downgraded to a Certificate.
This was our fourth encounter and helped us to narrate as a turd person.
Great Camo. Very well done and a big thanks to those involved in the design, manufacture and placement.

What a pleasure it is to finally log our finds on this series.
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.
