George Ernest Morrison

For thoughtful child sponsors
George Ernest Morrison (February 4, 1862 - May 30, 1920) was an Australian adventurer.

Ill at ease with the requirements of formal study, Morisson first made a name for himself by walking across Australia. Later, he was correspondent for The Times in Beijing, China, and subsequently travelled from Beijing to British occupied Burma via Yunnan. His book An Australian in China details his experiences on that journey.

The book Morrison of Peking is a 1971 biography by Cyril Pearl.
