- Residents at Marree, near Lake Eyre in
South Australia's north, are wondering who is behind a huge outline of
a person they say has appeared north-west of the town.
-
- Local resident Ray Goss says he is not
sure how the outline was created but suspects someone used a grader and
satellite-navigation gear to guide them.
-
- He says it is an impressive sight from
the air and can apparently be seen from 30,000 feet.
-
- "It's a drawing of an Aboriginal
person," Mr Goss said. "He's holding something in his hand.
-
- "It's probably four kilometres long
and it would be, the thickness of the drawing itself, the outline, would
be probably say 20 feet wide.
-
- "It just sort of stands there and
you can actually see it from one direction."
-
- An anonymous person sent faxes about
the drawing to local businesses earlier this week.
-
- Mr Goss says it looks very impressive
from the air.
-
- "We were flying at 3,000 feet and
we got to a big plateau and all you could basically see was a bit of an
outline of a foot," he said.
-
- "And then when the plane went round
[the drawing] actually appeared and it was massive, really giant.
-
- "[We] actually flew around it and
as you fly around it, the ground just went back to the normal vegetation
and you couldn't even see it was there."
