Current and former Kully Bay campers have spoken out about the importance of this community in the Illawarra on the day they are set to be 'evicted'. Footage by Anna Warr.
00:00Hi, I'm Michael Gallagher. I'm one of the homeless people down here.
00:15Basically, if we get kicked out of here, it's not going to be beneficial for the homeless.
00:27We have a lot of people coming out here that have got nothing.
00:31As far as this move on order, they're breaching that many protocols. It's not funny.
00:39The homeless have rights, even though Scully and Abode and Tampa don't seem to realise that we do,
00:50even though it is so well state government wrote these protocols to protect us against people like them.
00:56And now they're breaching us. We've gotten legal advice and we're probably going to take them in order.
01:03Hi, I'm Bob Hall. Me and my wife live in a bus and we have done for the last 16 years. We have family in Wollongong.
01:25So when we come and stay, we've found that this has been a really good spot for us to be.
01:34But this place is community. It's real community. I use a similar. You go to any of these suburbs in Wollongong and you ask people who their next door neighbour is.
01:48And most of them wouldn't have a clue. Yet we can come here every now and again and stop for a couple of days or a week.
01:57And we know everybody. Everybody knows us. Everybody loves beauty. It's just a really good place. And it's safe.
