Now, she has finally settled down, and lives on Wonnarua Country by the banks of the river Coquun. She has made her home with her husband, Tristan, and their two dogs, Charlie and Ben.
Rebbeca teaches English and Drama, and in her spare time, loves to draw, write and paint. She especially loves being a bamali (aunt) and creating stories for her wundayans and gibayans (nieces and nephews).
Her favourite bird is the Australian Royal Spoonbill.
