Have been reading an article about this geoglyph discovered in 1998, can only be vewed from the air.
4 kilometres in length, depicting an aboriginal wielding a club and posing with an erect penis.
There are many theories on how it got there but the most popular option seems to be by deceased eccentric outback dweller/scupltor Bardius Goldberg.

The image etched into the earths surface, probably with a bulldozer.

Whether it is coincidental or purposely faded out on Google Earth to protect the tourist industry in Marree the geoglyph can be seen very faintly using these co-ordinates or by typing Marree Man into the search box.

MARREE MAN
29° 32' 2.39"
137° 27' 59.15"

Cheers
Peter
