Brent Flower, or “Hammer” as he prefers, says that when he handed out whatever he owned he seemed like he could fly.
He tells how he has no remorses about ignoring a lucrative shearing company that made him a “millionaire” to sleep under a tree in a Launceston park.
” There’s a lot of idea that we need all this stuff to be happy,” he said.
” I believe it’s a falsity.
” I’ve coped with a great deal of stuff and, think it or not, I’m happier under the tree than with all my stuff.”
On his last day in Launceston, Hammer spoke to the ABC about his journey from wealth and success, to his darkest days in remote western Tasmania prior to newfound joy sleeping under a tree in Launceston.
He has now left Launceston using cash he found in parking meters to travel to Kangaro
