Listen to poem:
On the Outback Downs of Queensland There is the strangest light I have seen it first hand And it sure gave me a fright I was camped out while Lamb Marking On the Downs out Corfield way Hot days with sheep dogs barking We sure did earn our pay On one eve when days work done We sat around a fire Telling yarns, let our tongues run Leant back against the wire As I looked out in the distance The night was black as pitch A light with some insistence Gave my interest an itch I knew that there was nothing there Only us for miles around What was this light, gave us a scare Some six feet from the ground I got up, had another look I called for volunteers Let's go take a butchers hook But all I got was jeers I walked away out to the side Until it disappeared We still see it here they cried Now that was pretty weird So make your own mind up about That Queensland Min Min light I can say there is no doubt Was on the Downs that night
