MIN MIN ENCOUNTER
Min Min Encounter is a tribute to the long-honoured
art of the bush yarn based around the famed Min Min light phenomenon. The 45-minute
animatronic show introduces you to the story of the Min Min Light by various
characters who claim to have seen the mysterious light.
The Min Min Encounter
was opened to the public in April 2000 and has been enthralling visitors
through Boulia since its creation and being the only show of its kind in
Queensland.
BOULIA HERITAGE COMPLEX
The Boulia Heritage Complex showcases Boulia’s three distinct phases of history that take you on a journey back through time.
PREHISTORIC
PREDATORS OF THE DEEP: Although the town at only 139 years old is young, the
prehistoric denizens of the deep such as the Ichthyosaur and Plesiosaur were
here 110 million years ago when seawater covered the region. Fossilised remains
of these mighty marine reptiles are to be found in Boulia and are the best
examples of their kind on display in Australia. Also for the enthusiast, there
are fossilised remains of turtles including the world’s oldest, named
Bouliachelys suteri.
BOULIA’S FIRST
PEOPLE: Traditional owners of the land in Boulia are the Pitta Pitta and their
culture is explored at the Boulia Heritage Complex. Another component is the
history of the early pioneers of the region in the form of medical, farming,
machinery, exploration and education artefacts.
STONEHOUSE COTTAGE:
A Heritage-listed building built of stone and compacted rubble within its walls
is the last of its kind in the West that is still accessible for the public to
view living conditions from 130 years ago. Marvel at life before electricity
and modern appliances made their appearance.
