'Naked Nomad' leaves millions
A MAN who rejected possessions and walked naked around the country has been declared dead, leaving his sister an estate worth millions of dollars.
Victor Flanagan, also known as the “Naked Nomad”, was declared presumed dead in the Supreme Court in Perth last week – more than a decade after he last spoke to his sister.
The West Australian said a multimillion-dollar beachfront property near Busselton would be left to his sister, Violet Georgina Jenkins.
He would don a sarong w
hen walking through towns and a pair of thongs when there were prickles underfoot.
In a newsletter for environmental awareness group The Great Walk, Mr Flanagan was described as “a gentle man who walked this earth with love and care for the environment around him”.
“He walked barefoot from Perth to Papua New Guinea, becoming known as the Naked Nomad, making the news in his plight to share his truth with the outside world,”
He said his goal was simply to be in touch with nature.
