David Glasheen was a stockbroker and a millionaire in
Australia living his life to the fullest, a few years ago. But when everything
seemed to be going very well, Glasheen suddenly lost everything in 1987 and was even
left by his wife.
Glasheen later decided that it was time for a drastic
change in his life.
“I want a different life. Outside the vicious circle that
pressures me to make more money,” said Glasheen.
This is when he moved to a beautiful island in the north of Australia, on Far North Queensland’s Restoration Island – where he becomes the sole resident and focuses on merely character-building.
Initially, Glasheen moved to the island with his
girlfriend, Denise. Denise supported him with the best that she can but she
returned to Australia after giving birth to her first baby. Glasheen thinks
that the island is not suitable for a newborn, so Denise had to leave the
island.

Despite living with a few things, he is confident in his
lifestyle. He lives there with two mannequins as friends, a connection to the
internet that works with solar energy and surprisingly, a bar. He even got a
beer recipe and spent his free time perfecting the recipe.
Glasheen obtained his food by catching fish and picking
fruits on the island. His most important objects there are stones to light fire
and a kitchen knife.
To get more supplies, Glasheen boarded a boat and went to a
market in Carins.
There he got to buy canned foods, toilet paper, toothpaste
and cleaning products to keep everything clean.
Far from cities and human interactions, Glasheen admitted
that there is always a time when he felt very lonely
For more than 20 years, this former millionaire has spent
his life on the island and planning to continue doing so.
