In the early morning hours of March 28, 2014, Brisbane, Australia experienced stormy weather. As the rain subsided, the homeless community of Kurilpa Park emerged from their shelters. On a nearby bench, some of them noticed what appeared to be a homeless woman. She lay on the bench, clad only in damp newspapers to shield her from the elements.
