We report the discovery of a new young stellar cluster and molecular cloudlocated in the far outer Galaxy, seen towards IRAS 06361-0142, and wecharacterise their properties. Near-infrared images were obtained withVLT/ISAAC through JHKs filters, millimetre line observations of CO(1-0) wereobtained with SEST, and VLA 6 cm continuum maps obtained from archive data. Thecloud and cluster are located at a distance of 7 kpc and a Galactocentricdistance of 15 kpc, well in the far outer Galaxy. Morphologically, IRAS06361-0142 appears as a cluster of several tens of stars surrounded by a nearlyspherical nebular cavity centred at the position of the IRAS source. Thecluster appears composed of low and intermediate-mass, young reddened starswith a large fraction having cleared the inner regions of their circumstellardiscs responsible for (H - Ks) colour excess. The observations are compatiblewith a 4 Myr cluster with variable spatial extinction between Av = 6 and Av =13.
