Unravel The Mystery Of The Australian Outback Phenomenon

Ssshhhh...it's late, it's dark, if you are very quiet, you can hear the embers of the fire crackling as you curl up in your swag, the crickets get louder, every so often, you hear a rustling of leaves...what is it, what could it be? You lay back and your gaze is on the spectacular Southern sky, with a million stars sparkling at you, you look for shooting stars and other un-identified flying objects...

...Then out of the corner of your eye, you see small bright lights appear and disappear as quickly as a flashing neon sign. The lights appear hovering in front of you, as you move your head to try and see the cause of the light, the light moves with you.

What happened? Where did they go? Are they real or did you just imagine it?

Min Min Encounter

Unravel the mystery of the Australian outback phenomenon of the Min Min lights with a visit to Boulia's Min Min Encounter.

The Min Min Encounter is a unique theatrical experience incorporating animatronics, fibre optics and loads of other high tech wizardry. The encounter is a tribute to the long honoured art of the bush yarn, all based around the famed Min Min Light phenomenon. At the Min Min encounter you will have an outback experience like no other. In the 45 minute show you will be introduced to the story of the Min Min Light by various characters who claim to have taken on a journey through Min Min country to have your own Min Min experience complete with spine tingling effects and an unpredictable ending.

Min Min Cafe

Refreshments including sandwiches, cakes, drinks and cappuccinos are available from the Encounter's Cafe also within the facility. The whole centre is wheelchair accessible.
