The Big Lobster

Another attraction on the Limestone Coast is, Larry the Lobster, located in the town of Kingston.

The 55-foot-tall sculpture of a spiny lobster is regarded as one of the most impressive of 'Australia's Big Things'.

Designed and built by Paul Kelly, it is made of steel and fibreglass and was intended to attract attention to the restaurant and visitor centre at which it is situated.

The Umpherston Sinkhole

The Umpherston Sinkhole was created in 1886 when a cave chamber collapsed creating fertile ground.

The now sunken garden includes viewing platforms, benches, sculptures and walking paths, and where visitors can feed fruit to the resident possums.

The Marree Man

The Marree Man is a carving of an ancient human figure more than 2 miles long and more than 17 miles around its perimeter.

It is thought to be one of the world's largest designs etched into the ground.

The carving is thought to depict an Aboriginal hunter, although its origin is a mystery with no one knowing who created the etching.

The Marree Man can be seen from space and is sometimes captured by NASA satellite images.
