It is famous for the Min Min lights
There are a lot of bush yarns in this outback Queensland town, but the most intriguing is the one about the mysterious Min Min lights. These eerie lights have been seen for more than a century and have never been explained. Sometimes they appear as a single light, while at other times they seem to follow people. Sometimes they are blue and at other times white or yellow.
The spooky lights are described as floating balls of glowing light that move at speed, leaving witnesses confused and frightened. They are often seen over the graves at the back of the old Min Min Hotel, which burned down in 1918.
The lights are said to be caused by temperature inversions in the air and can be viewed from the ground, in vehicles, and through the windows of buildings. Professor Peter Pettigrew, a UQ optometrist, has provided an optical explanation for the phenomenon. He says that the lights look like a fata Morgana, and are not spirits or aliens.
It is located in the Central Outback
The Central Outback is a great place to visit for a number of reasons. Not only does it have amazing scenery, but it also has many different tourist attractions. These include Lewis Lagoon, Mount Ninmaroo, and Longsight Peak. In addition, it has a variety of accommodation options, including the Normanton Tourist Park and Boulia Desert Sands Motel.
The town is best known for its annual camel races and sightings of the Min Min lights, but it also has a rich history, including red desert sands, marine fossils, and birdlife. In addition, it is home to some eccentric true blue Aussie characters.
