Hugh Gwyn Morgan Travel and the study of European languages have been dominant interests in Hugh Morgan 's life. Growing up in Sydney's leafy North Shore, the descendant of two First Fleeters, few would have guessed that he would eventually gain fluency in three European languages. In 1963 Hugh spent a year studying German at the Goethe-Institut in Lueneburg and Berlin. The following year was spent at Perugia studying Italian, before working on the island of Elba for some months. odysseytravel.com.au
