Notes: Every good story includes the pursuit of treasure and mystery. We think it was at least two years ago, driving back from (we can only guess) this same track, one of us happened to briefly see a gigantic Golden Gumboot sitting in a paddock. This was greeted with much skepticism by the other two, and the viewer of this Vision had many opportunities to consider the state of her mental health over the intervening years as we struggled to find it again. Every car trip back from one tramp or another would invariably include the possibility that this was "Golden Gumboot territory", but it stubbornly refused to prove its existence. It sort of became that half-believed-in thing, that we looked for religiously, but never really thought we would see again. Except that today we found it. Gigantic. Golden. Gumboot. In a paddock. There was some screaming. We took selfies galore. Then we climbed back into the car a lot excited, but also a little sad that we had solved our mystery.
