Georgia Munro-Cook (b. May 17, 1994 in Sydney, Australia) is the daughter of Murray Cook, Meg Munro and Hamish's sister and a 4.5 wheelchair basketball player.
She attended Newtown High School of the Performing Arts, earning high marks in English, Mathematics, Science, Australian History and Australian Geography. As of 2017, she attends the University of Sydney, where she is writing a thesis on "The WNBA, the Anti-Women Backlash, and the League Response" under the supervision of Thomas Jessen Adams.
Georgia enjoyed playing basketball, but her career was cut short by injury. However, she soon found a substitute in wheelchair basketball. "It gave me an outlet and a passion to pursue," she recalled. She is a tall forward/centre who is classified a 4.5 point player. In 2014, she joined the Sachs Goudcamp Bears, one of the teams in the Women's National Wheelchair Basketball League. The team was renamed the Sydney Metro Blues in 2016, and won the league championship in 2017. That season, Georgia had five double-doubles. She led the Sydney Metro Blues for scoring, and was second for assists. She was also named to the All-Star Five. She also played for the New South Wales junior side that won the Kevin Coombs Cup in 2016.
