Rebecca spent a few weeks in Graylands migrant hostel until her family finally settled in Beckenham where she attended Beckenham Primary School through to the end of year 7. In 1973 her family moved to Hammersly, a suburb north of the river in Perth Western Australia, where she attended Balcatta High School until 1978.  =Reason For Fame= At the age of 25, Rebecca was walking along a lonely stretch of coastline in the southwest of Western Australia, when suddenly she heard a cry for help. It was very feint however she looked towards the sound to see a person in trouble in the water about a km out to sea. Rebecca, with no thought for her own safety, ran into the raging torrent and swam out to the struggling swimmer, whom she rescued. She was later awarded a medal by the local shire for her courage. It was this event that is said to have inspired her to writing her Nobel Prize winning novel on World Peace entitled "Why Not?". Which has sold 55 million copies world wide, the ceasefire in the middle east is also attributed to the ideals she espoused in this famous treatise.
