Norman Brookman was a student at Roseworthy College, and during the war of 1914–1918 served in France as a gunner with the 42nd battery, 11th Brigade Field Artillery. After his return, he developed a model farm "Burbrook", near Meadows, South Australia, and was involved in sheep breeding, apple growing and experimented with commercial flax growing. He was also involved with the Waite Research Institute in other field trials on his property and was vitally interested in pastures, and experimented with various grasses and clovers. He was involved for many years in local government, and served on the Hills Firefighting and Prevention Committee. He was elected as MLC in 1941. Norman Brookman was killed in 1949 when the car he was driving home from Victor Harbor crashed head-on into a 4-ton truck south of Noarlunga.
