About Rebecca

Rebbeca Chapman is a proud Wiradjuri woman, who was born near the banks of the Murrumbidgee Bila (river). She spent her early years on Country, before beginning a life of travel, living all over Australia and even the world. Now, she has finally settled down, and lives on Wonnarua Country not far from the banks of the river Coquun. There, she has made her home with her husband, Tristan, her newborn daughter, Sabriel, and their rescue dogs.

Rebbeca is a trained English and Drama teacher, who uses her skills as an educator to share her knowledge and connect young people with Aboriginal culture. In her spare time, she draws, writes, paints and weaves. Being a bamali (aunt) and creating stories for her wundayans and gibayans (nieces and nephews) is her most treasured inspiration.

Rebbeca also enjoys birdwatching. Her favourite bird to spot is the Australian Royal Spoonbill!
