Surrounding Sydney on all sides except its shoreline are National Parks and Preserves, and at the bottom of the image, the forested terrain of the park system south of the city can be seen. Built in 1888, this reservoir is one of Sydney’s oldest and was once the major water storage facility for the city. The city has developed numerous dams and water storage areas, including the Prospect Reservoir, located at the upper left edge of the image. Sustainable use of water and effective water management are prime concerns for the area. The image displays the concentrated development of the urban area. This simulated true-color Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) image shows the Sydney metropolitan area on October 12, 2001, and covers an area of 42 by 33 kilometers. "There's been so many different claims and the only one I don't believe in is that it was done from outer space," Dick Smith, the entrepreneur offering the reward, told ABC Radio Adelaide.Home to more than four million people from over 100 countries, Sydney is the largest and most cosmopolitan of Australia’s cities.

Worried the hunter might deteriorate further, locals began a five-day restoration project to return the monument to its former glory, using GPS coordinates and a construction grader. According to NASA, the lines were barely visible in natural color images collected in 2013 by OLI on Landsat 8. The mysterious figure was first spotted in 1998, when a pilot noticed the carvings on a plateau, but has faded as time went on. "It is unclear who created the giant geoglyph or why, but the large earthen figure has drawn attention to a remote part of South Australia for two decades," said NASA. It was taken by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on June 22, 2019. The image of a hunter with what might be a stick (or a boomerang) in his hand was chosen as NASA's Image of the Day on Sunday. The Marree Man is a geoglyph spanning 2.2 miles (or 3.5 kilometers) head-to-toe, and can be found in the middle of South Australia's desert near a town called Marree, itself 365 miles (589 kilometers) from the city of Adelaide.
