Boulia and the min min lights

On the second of May we packed up our camp at the Diamantina River and set off for Boulia.  We visited the wonderful Min Min Encounter centre at Boulia and found out the fascinating story of the Min Min lights.  We continued on toward Mt Isa and found ourselves a beautiful camping spot on the way.  We pulled off the road about 130km south of Mt Isa at a 'magical oasis' that was absolutely beautiful and picturesque.  This was made more so by the fact that we had the place to ourselves and it was a full moon that night.  We camped in what was essentially a cow paddock with a big dam.  There were rocking slopes to explore and a lovely grassy patch by the water in which to pitch our tent.

This is Evan's diary entry for Boulia:

Today we went to Boulia at the Min Min Encounter. When we went in it was really cold, dark, freaky and cool.

The min min encounter was about the min min light. Some people think the lights are real and some just think it is in their imagination.

I don't know what to believe.

Do you?
