Marree Man - The Marree Man, is Australia's and the worlds biggest geoglyph, (a figure or symbol cut into the earth ). The figure is huge, about 4 kilometres (2 1/2 miles) from head to toe.The Marree Man was first publicised in 1998, soon after it was made. Who cut the figure and why remains a mystery, it is located in the outback of South Australia about 20 kilometres (13 miles) from the town of Marree. It is generally assumed to be a figure of an Australian Aboriginal hunter.

Edit:
Kakadu National Park is in the Northern Territory of Australia, 171 km east of Darwin.
