Golden Gumboot, Tourist monument in Tully, Australia
The Golden Gumboot stands at 7.9 meters tall, constructed from fiberglass over a steel frame with a spiral staircase leading to an observation platform.
The monument opened in 2003 to commemorate Tully's record rainfall of 7.93 meters in 1950, marking the highest annual precipitation in Australian history.
The structure represents a competition between Far North Queensland towns Tully, Innisfail, and Babinda to determine which receives the most annual rainfall.
Visitors can climb the internal staircase to view historical photographs of regional floods while ascending to the top viewing platform overlooking Tully.
A mechanical rain gauge spans from heel to calf, while a carved white-lipped green tree frog scales the exterior of this giant rubber boot.
