	The Australian Min Min Lights
		The Min Min Light was viewed as a "debil-debil", or as one local put it in the ABC "A Big Country" programme on the light, "The Boulia Triangle", "He was the fl fella's ghost, that fella." In 1878 many aborigines were killed in retaliation for some killings of white settlers.
		Such occurrences are not unique to the Boulia area although the Min Min Light enjoys such a reputation that "Min Min light" is now virtually a generic term for Australian "ghost lights".
