BRABAZON BIOs
This section of the Blog is dedicated to biographies (but short!) of living Brabazons who have done something outstanding and inspiring. The Team will use its own combined knowledge to start the ball rolling, but we would be very grateful for contributions of either just names or, better, prepared entries (picture plus short text). We're not looking for superstars, but I'm sure we have some of those as well! Having built up a wealth of historical knowledge, we think we should pay more attention to the up and coming Brabazon generations, who will, after all, be the folk heroes of the future. Let's collectively inspire ourselves - Proud to be a Brabazon time!

Dr Sally Ruth Hinton
Dr Sally Hinton received her PhD in 2013 for her revolutionary research into freshwater toxin-producing cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that occur in drinking water reservoirs and recreational water bodies. While her research was centred on the Tweed River Catchment (a sub-tropical region on Australia's east coast) Sally's years of research yielded discoveries that are likely to impact on the way blue-green algae is monitored and managed worldwide. It will hopefully reduce the risks associated with toxin producing cyanobacteria in regards to human health as well as both stock and wildlife. Dr Hinton is currently working full time as a Senior Scientist at the Tweed Laboratory Centre - a multi-million dollar facility which is a market leader in algae identification and research handling samples from all over Australia.
Sally's Mother was the late Elspeth Genifer Brabazon McManus, who in turn was the Granddaughter of Mary Violet Brabazon of Winton, Western Queensland - the same family line as our dear late Ann Shevill. Sally's Father was the late Allan Gordon Hinton from Tweed Heads.
To balance her scientific career, Sally's artistic interest and ever time consuming hobby is Wildlife Photography, having won many gold medals in international salons with her images. Combining three passions: wildlife, travel and photography she has travelled to the Galapagos Islands and Alaska, however, it was Africa that got into her blood and she has returned numerous times enjoying the surprises that nature and wildlife produce when least expected!

My husband's (therefore our children's) family descend from Jeannie O'Beirne Brabazon, daughter of the Rev. George Brabazon, Ireland. She married Rev. Christopher Russell, and among their children was my husband's grandfather William E. Russell, born in Ireland, who was very proud of the Brabazon family name. Mother of my husband and his brother was Noelle Jeannie Brabazon Russell. I knew her well, and she helped me a lot with the Russell/Brabazon family trees, as her father had written down all he knew. I have followed your Brabazon blog for quite a while but have done my own research as well.
