The vigil, coinciding with Homelessness Week, also honoured the recent death of 38-year-old Noongar woman.
Mother-of-six Alana Garlett died in June after she was found unwell in front of a church in Perth’s CBD.
Speaking to NITV News at the vigil, her sister Michelle said Ms Garlett had been sleeping rough for a number of years before her death.
“She was kicked out on the streets 8-9 years ago and from then onwards, she just knew the streets so well. All of a sudden she ends up passing on the streets through the cold and the homelessness,” said Michelle.
