Chapman River (Western Australia)

Chapman River is a river in the Mid West region of Western Australia.

The river rises northeast of Nabawa in the Shire of Chapman Valley, flowing generally southwest for about convert|105|km|mi|0|lk=on to the Indian Ocean at the Geraldton suburb of Bluff Point (coord|-28.729|114.620|format=dms). It was discovered and named by George Grey in 1839, and may have been named after Mr John Chapman MP, deputy chairman of the Western Australian Land Company at the time.
