Golden Gumboot

The Golden Gumboot is an iconic trophy awarded in recognition of the town of Invers, New Zealand, which is known for its heavy rainfall. The Golden Gumboot was created as a humorous symbol of the area's wet weather and is part of the annual Golden Gumboot Day celebration, which typically includes various community events and activities. The trophy itself is a massive, gold-painted rubber gumboot (boot), signifying the town's claim to fame in terms of rainfall.
