Distinguished and Famous people from Blackmans Bay
Blackmans Bay's documented connections include residents honoured for youth and community service. Their national honours record contributions through Scouting, Guiding and Sailability.
🤝 Rodney and Susan Viney
Rodney John Viney and Susan Mary Viney were listed as Blackmans Bay residents when each received the Medal of the Order of Australia in 2011. Rodney's award recognised work with Scouting and Sailability Tasmania; Susan's recognised service through Guiding and the community. Their honours identify different contributions to youth and participation. The local connection is recorded residence at the time of recognition, with their service extending beyond the suburb.
🤝 John Cornish
John Cornish served as an assistant Scout leader at Blackmans Bay from 1964 to 1966, early in a much longer involvement with Scouting. His later responsibilities included chief commissioner of the Tasmanian branch from 1998 to 2004 and national committee work. He received the Medal of the Order of Australia in 2022 for service to youth through Scouts. Blackmans Bay belongs to the beginning of that service record, rather than being presented as his later residence.
