| The Min Min lights |
|
If you are driving way outback in Queensland not far from the billabong which inspired the famous Australian song Waltzing Matilda, you may see more than just the stockman's ghost mention in the lyrics. For this is the area where you might catch sight of the famous Min Min lights. No one is too sure what they are. The lights have been reported from as far south as Brewarrina in western New South Wales, to as far north as Boulia in northern Queensland. The name "Min Min" derives from the small settlement of Min Min, located between the outback towns of Boulia and Winton, where the light was discovered by a stockman in 1918. As you would expect, accounts of the light appearances vary, though they are most commonly described as being fuzzy, disc-shaped lights that appear to hover just above the horizon. Scarey! |
