So New Zealand has a lot of small towns in the middle of nowhere, and in order to put their names on the map, they make up some random festival, like the Gum Boot Throwing Festival in Taihape, or they grow giant vegetables and set world records, like the World's Largest Carrot in Ohakune.
Anyway, along the way to places, I stopped to see a giant Kiwi, the replica of the biggest carrot (3:1 scale), and a huge gum boot. Apparently the female winner of the gum boot throwing contest had a record throw of 43 meters! Impressive! I had a chance to try some gum boot throwing myself and I actually wasn't half bad. It's all in the wrist...:)
