Summary

Photograph of an Aboriginal girl standing next to a buggy pulled by two camels. A kitten can be seen standing on the back of one of the camels. The description on the reverse side, thought to have been written by Daisy Bates, reads: "My mode of travelling over the great Nullarbor Plain. My only companion on this trip from Fowler's Bay, S.A., across the plain to Eucla, W.A., and back to Fowler's Bay, covering 480 miles was the half caste girl seen in this photograph, one of five half or three quarter castes reared and educated by Mrs G.W. Murray of Yalata Station, Fowler's Bay S.A. I found the little kitten on the road. Its mother had been killed and the wee thing was nearly dead with starvation."
