The film shows one of the female marsupials fenced in a paddock, likely the last living representative of her species when the footage was shot in 1936. A digital copy of the film has been held at the South Australian Museum for 20 years, but that version is entirely in black and white. What’s incredible about the newly digitised National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) copy is that it contains 34 seconds of colour footage at the end.
