The Country Life team is on the hunt for New Zealand's oldest pair of gumboots. Most farmers attending the Kauroa Weaner sale near Raglan agreed that one or two years was their oldest pair. However one farmer reckons he has 40 year old ones, they belonged to his grandfather and are lurking "under rubbish somewhere at home." Tell us how old your boots are, and the most interesting place they've been worn. Write to us at: Country Life, PO Box 9490, Hamilton 3240 or email: country@radionz.co.nz
