Isn't it amazing to see the power of small minded people. I say that if the sign offends tourists let them stay at home.

The truth of the matter is, that Turd Clark is a very well liked and respected person, and locals have known him as such for over 20 years, they are mature enough to see no derogatory inference in it. The Bundaleer forest is not in Australia's barren outback, but the beautiful agricultural Mid North.

This area is one of Australia's best kept secrets, I personally hope that it stays that way.
