Thanks Juilee. They are relatively lucky. The caravan park is only 10km from Melbourne, and now has long waiting lists.

Great shot. Who is helping these children? How do they eat?

Sam is an apprentice motor mechanic, very lowly paid, but enough to pay the caravan rent and buy food. Jack is trying to go back to school. There is no one to help them, but they have each other. Thanks Helen.

These kids are so remarkable to be surviving and God love them for having a go. Good luck to them. Great photo docophoto, but such a shameful state for these kids to be in.

Great job here – sounds like Sam’s on track, so hard to understand how a 15 year old can be almost homeless… hope he gets back to school.

The way you never flinch at the tough subjects is wonderful. You keep reminding us that there are other people with problems out there.

Philip Rogan
Lovely use of the wide angle and of course your empathy with your subjects lives simply shines through. Great work, again.

GREAT photo in all ways…their facial exprssions, the angle, the black and white.
But it makes me SO sad! How is it possible that 2 kids have to live alone? Is that common?
Mark Hayward
Another great story told through your lens doco. Is inspiring to see such powerful work on local issues.

this really sums up the purpose of the group. great work
JimFilmer
excellent work – the sad side of this is that many caravan park operators now they have no bond money and hence inflate the rent and charge excesively for power
