Out-bid by a turd party - TTT05 Queensland, Australia
By RoddyC and 1muggle with QOGM2019 on 01-Sep-19. Waypoint GA14138

Oh Dear. We certainly felt that we'd been 'Out-Bid by a Turd Party'. After a 20 minute search we failed to find this cache. Having not attended a Turd cache party we did not have a suitable container to leave. We do hope this does not mean the end of The Turd Trail

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!!!

Attending the QOGM event 2019 we teamed up with Cache Hunters to complete the Turd Trail.

Soon found the familiar turd and replaced as found. No turd party involved.

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.

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.

The Turd Trail was attempted in the company of Grumpy Bump and TBU.
What a great, fun series of caches. So much mirth along the way.
Thank you Muggle1 and RoddyC for your fantastic efforts.

Found during QOGM 2019 on the muster trail. The series of caches passed muster and was an enjoyable drive though the country. Navigating to waypoints and similarly adorned containers makes it difficult to log each one, but the passengers were amused by the notes along the way. Thanks for the effort in constructing and listing this series.

What a fantastic trail of caches. The play on words is fantastic. We laughed all the way. Thanks to all involved with this trail. It was absolutely brilliant. Signed a Team SPIT ( Snickersallen, patrol14, Imbunda, The McAlister Zoo (TMZ59)).

Quick find with Teams Wazza9 & smittengranny, had a great day searching for this nicely 5th hidden container, very apt, reminds me of living on a dairy farm, many years ago. Signed log as GC8D01D, a big thanks to Roddyc and QOGM 2019 committee

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 fifth encounter and we failed being out-bid by the turd party for our efforts.
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.
