After leaving Birdsville, we headed North (186klm) to Bedourie. Stopping at Carcory ruins on the way. Bedourie is famous for "The Mud Hut" & the Bedourie camp oven.
After a short stop at Bedourie, we kept travelling North to Boulia (190klm).
Boulia is famous for the "Min, Min Light"- this is a strange spectral light that can appear, hover, disappear & reappear with an eerie will of it's own. Most often described as a hoovering luminescent ball, the light has teased travellers, never approaching close enough to be clearly examined. Scientists are baffled to explain this Phenomenon!!! (Well, we will go to the pub later and see if this helps us to see "The Min, Min Light")!!!
At present we are camped on the Burke River. The town was established by the shop keeper Ernest Henry in 1876.

This table top Wagon was common place in the Boulia Shire at the turn of the century, used for carting wool & other goods along the Old Cobb & Co route.
