Timeline
Morrissey was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in the 2019 Queen's Birthday Honours in recognition of her "significant service to literature as a novelist, and to conservation and the environment".
In May 2017 Morrissey was inducted into the Australian Book Industry Awards (ABIA) Hall of Fame, and given the Lloyd O’Neil Award for service to the Australian book industry, presented by her old friend and fellow author Tom Keneally.
In 2015 she launched The Manning Community News, a monthly newspaper covering local news in the Manning Valley, New South Wales.
She is an environmentalist and activist. All her novels are inspired by landscape with environmental, political and cultural issues woven into mass market popular fiction. Following her support of Aung Sang Suu Kyi, she travelled to Burma (Myanmar) in 2011 and published her book The Golden Land in 2012. She has subsequently established The Golden Land Education Foundation and raises funds for the school she has established outside Mandalay.
In 1989 she left TV to write her first novel, Heart of the Dreaming, which was published in 1991 and became a best-seller, establishing a demand for Australian-based stories.
She then married US diplomat Peter Morrissey and lived in Hawaii, where she had her own morning TV show for KGMB and appeared in several episodes of the CBS TV series Hawaii Five-O, starring Jack Lord. The couple lived in various countries in South East Asia and Guyana before Morrissey returned to Australia on her own. She became one of the original presenters on Australia's first national current affairs Breakfast TV show, Good Morning Australia, with Gordon Elliott, which premiered on Network Ten in 1981.
