discusion about it last month Jim or the month before.

Saw some last year at the indy carnival after giving cheek to a security guard.

Hi all,
Haven't personally encountered the MINMIN but the owners of a property near Boulia that we often stay with have had several sightings over the years. The area around Boulia is renowned for the minmin..

we are going for a look in about 10 weeks

Minmin lights are for real .Holiday in the Flinders Ranges when wildflowers are about usually after early season rains April May .The West side of Wilpena pond or the Parachilna Gorge side looking east towards the Pound from the road .Dark nights heavy dew etc should guarantee sightings .
My claim is based on outback safaris conducted out of Adelaide in the 80s througout the Flinders and Gammon Ranges Jeff

Jim! be carefull of being "Just bored and curious".

That's how Elton John turned queer.

Forget the Minmin lights and get yourself a decent stick book mate.

And as for "weird stuff during your travels" What the hell are you saying man?

Let me ask you a question.

If you went away camping and found that you woke up with a sore arse and 50c under your pillow would you tell any-one? Well if you wouldn't ... Do you want to come to Wombat State Forest next weekend?

Lolololololol.

Some time back Mike H started a great thread on things that go bump in the dark. There was a lot of wierd stuff came out in that thread.

Iam afraid I will have to disapoint you they have been explained there was a very good program some time ago on the abc about a team in western austraila where the most sitings take place cant remember the name.

In the short version what you have is a magnetic field caused by a number of phenomen normaly ground movement very small quakes / shifting of land this causes a preasure build in th rock which causes the magnetic field, and what you are doing is looking through that field I belive the figure was about 30 km and you would start geting the phenomem ie light you would see it in the daytime as well but for the natural light, as you approach it apears to move but in reality you are staying the same distance but it is eratic in loumanosity due to the strenth of the field you are traveling through and it goes when you reach the edge or limit (30km) of the field.

This was proven by instrementation and predicted as the field increased a very interesting program, sorry about destroying the myth.

As and old bushman I have seen the phenomen more times than I can count and have chased it only to lose it and be puzzeld by it

hope that helps you if I see the program advertised I will put up a thread
