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.
The Cache Wars of the second decade of the twenty first century were the result of uncompromising competition between the two competing sources of cache supply. The first was the commercial manufacturers, who sought a monopoly on the supply of all caches to the caching community. The geocaching dollar had to be spent on purchasing ready-made caches. Popular caches included ones like this plastic turd cache:
The second was the home-made self-funded construction of caches where the geocaching dollar was spent of the construction of caches in house.
What happened to cachers whose views aligned with neither of the above? Characterized by poverty and a low standard of living for much of the population, they turned to naturally produced materials, such as those used on this trail.
This is a Turd World Country.

Logs
We found this container beside a fallen log. It was missing its lid and the contents showed signs of having been wet. We added a new log protected by a sealed plastic bag.
Thankds for this cache RoddyC. This section of the trail could readily be labelled Turd World as we had to watch where we placed our feet due to many, many turds left by the nearby cattle.

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.

FTF with our Team Mickeyspikey - allocated by the Event organisers.
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.
Could imagine how much work went into these containers! Awesome!

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.

Quick find with Teams Wazza9 & smittengranny, had a great day searching for this nicely 13th hidden container, very apt, reminds me of living on a dairy farm, many years ago. Signed log as GC8D0HW, a big thanks to Roddyc and QOGM 2019 committee

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.

Our 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 Degree Certificate.
This was our thirteenth encounter and failed to find information to help us find the TTT Mystery.
Great Camo. Very well done and a big thanks to those involved in the design, manufacture and placement.
