Dark Blue

“Without your gumboots, where would you be?” This line from the Gumboot Song, says it all. Mine, dark blue in colour, sit ever-ready at the back door.
Gumboots is a “new” term for me. They were always rubber boots but somewhere along the way it has become more fashionable to call them gumboots.
A huge fibreglass gumboot with a green tree frog climbing up its side welcomes visitors to Tully, the wettest place in Australia. Standing 7.9m high, it represents the record set in 1950 of 7900mm or 311inches for the year. Check it out at:

A very interesting picture, something you would never see. I liked your story also.

Love it! Great processing. That's a new term for me, too. Since we moved to a rural area, my gumboots also sit next to the back door.

[Shirley Chetwynd]

wow that would be interesting to see .

Nice blue welly boots and cool processing :) Now off to investigate the big gumboot...

[Karen]

Gumboots are such a necessity in our winter time. I never thought I would be a fan till we moved to an acerage.

Gosh I love your processing - who would have thought 'wellies' could look so trendy! Looks as if you'd wear them at a nuclear installation!! Great dark blue for today too :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Cool processing. Love it.

[Nikki]

Man. That is a lot of rain. Ive allways called them gumboots.

[Jan]

We use to call them wellington boots - or were they the ones that went to the knee? Great dark blue colour!

Cool editing!

Hmm, you apparently don't originate from NSW! Always were and always will be gumboots to us. One of those regional differences. Love the blue gummies.
