Distinguished and Famous people from Brookton
Brookton's documented connections include an early European farming family and a contemporary Noongar artist and educator. They belong to different parts of the district's history, which extends well beyond the founding of the townsite.
🌾 John Seabrook
John Seabrook moved to the Brookton district in 1846 and named his property Brookton House. The shire records him among its earliest permanent European settlers, on land already inhabited by Noongar people. His stepson A. W. Robinson took up neighbouring land in 1864, as farming settlement expanded. Seabrook's property name later became the town's name. His connection is therefore both residential and visible in the place-name, linking a nineteenth-century farm with the agricultural centre that developed around the railway.
🎨 Tamara Hayden
Tamara Hayden is a Noongar artist from Brookton with family connections to Balladong and Goreng Country. Her work in education and community organisations has focused on relationships with Aboriginal students, families and communities. WALGA featured her artwork Walking on Country for its 2026 Aboriginal Engagement Forum, linking her creative practice with cultural identity and connection to land. Her professional work has included Langford Aboriginal Association and Yule Brook College. Brookton is the documented place she comes from; those later workplaces are elsewhere in Western Australia.
