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.
Stealing third base is generally easier than stealing second. You can take a bigger lead at second than at first without drawing many throws. If your timing is good, you can also take off from second before the pitcher actually releases the ball. ... The potential to steal third depends on the batter at the plate.
So there you have it, geocachers.
Stealing a turd base, though, is a whole new batter at the plate, er, kettle of fish. so to speak.
Firstly, you have to survey the turd base farm (paddock) to ensure there are no harmful animals around - like drop bears. Um, perhaps not out here due to the lack of trees and water. But those boxing kangaroos and baby eating dingos are sure a hazard to the avid turd base hunter.
Secondly, you have to keep an eye out for Muggles. While most Muggles will simply look at you (kind of like Meerkats at the zoo. Did anyone say Alan?), there is a special 1muggle that will give you the turd degree if you enter his turd farm!
Turdly, and this is the difficult part, ensure that your turd base is solid enough to survive the kidnapping, er journey to the workshop.
So there you have it. You can easily steal a turd base before the picture is released at the ball, er, dance, um, police station.

Thanks for another Turd on this trail RoddyC. Off we go continuing along the trail in the hope of the final reward
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.
Could imagine how much work went into these containers! Awesome!

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.
Aiming for a home run but seems we only made turd base.
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.

a fantastic time.

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 tenth encounter and there was nothing here to collec to help us find the TTT Mystery. So we stole a base.
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.
