Marcia Harrison (nee Chayter) was a prolific writer and published author.
From the end of December 1949 through to late 1950 she kept a diary detailing her mundane household chores, study records and social outings, including every date she went on with Jack Harrison who, she would later marry.
She studied creative writing at the W.A. Insititue of Technology (now Curtin University) and wrote anecdotal reminiscences about her life.
She wrote “The Muckadilla Story” from the oral history of her mother, Norma Chayter.
Particularly fond of poetry, Marcia wrote “Poems for Smalls” which remained unpublished due to her untimely death in 2005.
From 1998 Marcia researched, compiled and wrote the history of the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, published in 2003 for their 75th birthday celebrations.
