Historical Resources
This book contains Diana’s family (Morse) history, including their family’s contribution in raising the awareness of the internationally
significant Gwydir Wetlands, west of Moree NSW. Her grandfather, Frederick Charles Morse born 1874, was a man with a great love
of nature and a passion for birds. Frederick was one of the first to document the massive bird breeding colonies in the Gwydir Wetlands in 1922.
His contributions to The Emu and other bird journals have added considerably to the knowledge of Australian Ornithology.
