| Description : |
The Marree Man is a giant drawing of an Aboriginal man cut into the earth on a sandy plateau outside the town of Marree, about 800 kilometres from Adelaide in the State's far north. It was discovered by a freelance pilot in mid-July 1998. This newspaper article reports on how the Marree Man was discovered and speculates on how the image might have been created. |
