As a young boy growing up in Victoria, Gene Brabant (b.1946) was very much involved with the Hunt family. He spent much of his time observing Mungo Martin when he was working on the Thunderbird Park project in Victoria and in his early twenties learned some carving skills alongside Tony Hunt. However, it was not until later that Gene began to take his artwork more seriously and at that time, began to carve and paint.
