That is now the homeless in Brisbane will have free access to a hot shower every day.

"Twenty-two months ago we had a crazy idea to put the two washers and two dryers in a van and [service] to wash and dry clothes for free," says Nic.
"Then we had the idea even crazier [to] put two showers [shower bath water] in the back of a van. We have a water tank, heater [water], we also accommodate a used bath water."
According to Nic although some charities offer a bath in their offices, but always "full".
