Legends of Boulia

reports since the late 1800s

The Min Min light

Stockmen and travellers in the outback around Boulia describe a glowing light that follows them at a distance, sometimes for kilometres, and vanishes if approached. Aboriginal traditions of the region also tell of the lights.

At the table: A light on the plain that keeps pace with your truck.

Aboriginal stories of the lights belong to their communities; retell only what is publicly shared.
