The figure is so huge it can only be seen in its entirely from above 3,000 feet.
It was created in such secrecy that there is not one witness who could attest to its creation.
Thanks to its remoteness, nobody had heard or seen anything, nor anyone has assumed responsibility for it.
To this date, it remains one of the world’s great unsolved modern mysteries.
Assuming the bulldozer was 2.5 meter wide, this would require up to 14 passes.
It was a herculean effort.
Stakes could have been placed every hundred meters or so.
Because this wasnt done the image is gradually eroding away through natural processes.
By December 2015, the figure had become undetectable when viewed on Google Earth.
An image from NASA showing Marree Man from space.
Inset is an outline of the man.
The police also found one track entering and one track exiting the site.
The quote reads:
In honour of the land they once knew.
His attainments in these pursuits are extraordinary; a constant source of wonderment and admiration.

Theories are abound of the Marree Mans origins.
Some say it was a parting gift from American servicemen based at the Australian Space Research Institute at Woomera.
Others believe it to be the work of Australian Defence Force.
Their vehicles, including a bulldozer, were allegedly seen in the area but the ADF denies it.
When questioned about it, Goldberg refused to either confirm or deny that he had created the image.
A close friend said Goldberg disclosed that he was given $10,000 to create the giant man.
But before further investigation could be made, Goldberg passed away.
While ground access to the site is prohibited, its still possible to take the aerial route.
