A psychologist's view was that Bryant would never hold down a job as he would aggravate people to such an extent that he would always be in trouble. In a 2011 interview, his mother recalled that while Bryant was very young, she would often find his toys broken and that he was an 'annoying' and 'different' child. Although the family home was located at 65 Augusta Road in Lenah Valley, Tasmania, Bryant spent some of his childhood at their beach home in Carnarvon Bay. He was the first son of Maurice and Carleen Bryant. Martin Bryant was born on at the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. 1.1 Psychological and psychiatric assessments.
