A young Caucasian girl cuddles a joey in front of a wooden door

A colour image of a young Caucasian girl (Frances Hattam, who plays Carol) looking down at a baby kangaroo (joey) that she firmly embraces in her arms. They are posed in front of a corrugated iron shed with a weatherboard door, on which hangs a heart shaped lock. This image was shot while filming Nullarbor Hideout 1964: Bored during the summer holidays and escaping the heat, a group of kids (and their joey!) from Cook, on the Nullarbor Plain, discover a limestone cave with a huge underground lake. Meanwhile in town, a detective is called in from Port Augusta to investigate a stolen car and some sinister kangaroo shooters. When the kids discover their tucker and canoe have disappeared, they decide to do some investigating of their own.
