As the sun begins to take the chill out of the morning air, a litter of puppies emerges from its den of building materials on a vacant block of land.
They are still young enough to feed from their mother's teat, but they sleep outside among pallets and insulation.
Soon the puppies disperse onto the streets, disappearing among dozens of other dogs that roam without boundary across Kowanyama, a remote Indigenous township in Queensland's far north.
