These 200 miles of flood tunnels is home to a secret community of nearly 1,000 homeless people who eke out a living in the strip’s dark underbelly. …
Despite the risks from disease, highly venomous spiders and flooding washing them away, many of the tunnel people have put together elaborate camps with furniture, ornaments and shelves filled with belongings. Some, like Steven and his girlfriend Kathryn, have furnished their home with considerable care – their 400sq ft ‘house’ boasts a double bed, a wardrobe and even a bookshelf. Tunnel residents have created wardrobes for their clothes and salvaged furniture to make the subterranean world more homely.
