Min Min Encounter

Outback Queensland


The Min Min Encounter feels like a Spielberg movie set, featuring animatronic gadgetry, a cast of outback characters and eerie lighting in its hourly show. Doubling as the information centre, it’s classic travel kitsch and actually rather good. Its focus are the min-min lights, an unusual, local light phenomenon. Shows starts on the hour, with last one at 4pm (or at noon on weekends from October to March).
