00:00You ready? I'm a little apprehensive it's started to get quite cold and I think
00:04it's only quarter to eight so I'm worried about the next six hours
00:08however we're not alone we need to make sure that we raise awareness this is
00:12about raising awareness to try and solve this problem and we've got the problem
00:15in Griffith so let's get to it. It wasn't too bad last night and that's
00:20not necessarily what other people have put up with so it's raised awareness for
00:25us we're going to continue to talk about it in our community we've raised some
00:28good money so far but we want to raise it a little bit more if we can but just
00:32having those conversations we had some people come down and saw us last night
00:35had a bit of a talk about homelessness we all had a bit of a chat about it
00:38during the night so thank you very much to the people that came along thank you
00:42for your interest and we look forward to these conversations continuing after we
00:46get back to work today. Yeah I'm a little bit worried about whether I've got enough
00:50enough enough warm gear to sleep tonight because it is going to get a little bit
00:54cooler but you know what it's not a big issue for me it's a big issue for
00:59everybody else so let's raise awareness see if we can do something about this
01:03and hopefully in the morning all in one piece and we can do what we have to do
01:07every day unlike some others. You ready? Yeah, made it through the night
01:10definitely a challenge but it's as I said last night I only have to do it
01:16once so if we can make a little bit of a difference from what we did last night to
01:20homelessness and raise awareness I think it was all worth it but nearly it
01:24wasn't that bad but still wouldn't want to have to do it every night so thanks
01:27help us out. Starting to get a bit colder and I'm getting a bit more
01:32uncertain about when I suppose I'm gonna go to sleep but look it's gonna be fine
01:37as others have said before me this is a very small piece of what other people
01:41have to endure so hopefully this is effective to raise a bit of awareness
01:46Look forward to talking to you again in the morning. Morning, well made it through the night
01:50look it wasn't that cold luckily but I was on the hard stand which
01:57woke me up quite a few times and I noticed the lights I just kept on
02:01waking up all the time thinking it was morning and just a bit uncertain about
02:03where I was so look just a small taste I guess of what it's like
02:08unfortunately for too many people so hopefully this can make a little bit of
02:12a difference in raising awareness. Cheers
