Built into the side of Capital Hill, Canberra is Australia’s Parliament house. During construction more that 100,000 truckloads of earth was moved, although much of it was put back on top of many of the offices. In the centre of the building you can see the 81m tall flagpole.

I think this building was designed with Google Sightseeing in mind as it’s much more interesting from above than it is from the ground. (Wikipedia page)

Ploughed into the Australian outback in 1998 (by persons still unknown), the Marree man is a 4km figure of an aboriginal. It’s faded into the desert quite a bit now but the shape (and size!) is still quite apparent. Wikipedia says that it was probably created using GPS and earthmoving equipment. There’s a good page here which discusses the possible reasons for creating the artwork.

Many thanks to Ken Mortimer, who it seems was the only person to submit this!

Uluru, which used to be known as Ayers Rock. A sacred site to the native Australians and an awesome sight to tourists.
