Sally Morgan's year of birth is 1951 and the place of birth is the Perth outskirts, namely Manning. In spite of her indifference in education and the lack of approval of her artistic aptitude, she graduated from secondary school and entered the Australian University.

She got a degree of Bachelor of Arts with the major subject Psychology and gained the master's degree diplomas in Law and Computing as well as Library Studies. When studying at the University she got married to Paul Morgan and later they had three children. Encouraged by the research of her Aboriginality Sally began writing down her autobiography and the biography of her uncle, whose name was Arthur Corunna, her mother's biography, Gladys Corunna, as well as her grandmother's one, named Daisy Corunna, these were the stories which were in print in 1987 and entitled My Place.

The book was printed again three times during that year and the mass-market paperback edition about four times in the year 1988 and the 1989. This author has also printed many children's tales, an illustrated edition of My Place, one more work of fiction, Wanamurraganya and numerous plays. Regardless of her success, Sally Morgan has become disenchanted with writing and instead she has put her faith in art. Her paintings were in the Australian National Gallery and in numerous public and personal collections. Her works have also been shown in many states, including the USA. Morgan has got lots of awards, counting the Human Rights in 1987.

Sally Morgan's work is marked on the publication's cover being employed for the Reading Series of South Dakota. The printer recommends the following explanation of the picture. He says that the white dwelling to its left of the picture on the cover of My Place, stand for Corunna Downs Station, the place Sally's grandmother, called Daisy Corunna lived. If we follow the arrows we'll see the ship "The Mindaroo" that was employed to take Gladys, who was the half caste child of Daisy away to the Children's Home, the neighboring building in the picture. The child being breastfed and the kid in the upper place to the right illustrate Gladys growing up.

At the following part is Daisy along with Gladys at Ivanhoe (the place Daisy worked at the present). After that we notice Gladys with a warrior, her future husband, named Bill Milroy, father of Sally. The group of people in the lower part of the painting contains Nan, Gladys with her kids. One of these children is apparently Sally. Finally the last image describing a bird symbolizes Daisy's death. The arrows as well mean Sally's trip back to her family house.
