Growing Up in Country Australia is collection of essays by Australian authors which was edited by Rick Morton and published by Black Inc. Other books in this set include Growing Up Asian, Growing Up Aboriginal, Growing Up African, Growing Up Queer and Growing Up Disabled in Australia, also Growing Up in Australia which I read and reviewed earlier this year.
The authors of the essays in this latest collection all shared the experience of growing up in regional areas, however that’s where the similarities in their upbringings ended. Australia is geographically a large country and there are many, many versions of what it is like for somebody to grow up in the country.
Reading Mousepocalypse by Annabel Crabb made me shudder. The realities of the author’s experience of her family living through a mouse plague in the Adelaide Plains while being advised by PETA spokespeople to humanely trap and release the mice elsewhere was laughable. I spent a week on a farm near Yass around 40 years ago while a mouse plague was occurring and will never forget the smell, or the piles of dead mice that were as high as the farmhouse.

Black Inc.'s bestselling Growing Up series goes to the country
Growing Up in Country Australia is a fresh, modern look at country Australia. There are stories of joy, adventure, nostalgia, connection to nature and freedom, but also more grim tales - of drought, fires, mouse plagues and isolation.
From the politics of the country school bus to the class divides between locals, from shooting foxes with Dad to giving up meat as an adult, from working on the family farm to selling up and moving to the city, the picture painted is diverse and unexpected.
This is country Australia as you've never seen it before. Including nearly forty stories by established and emerging authors from a wide range of backgrounds - including First Nations and new migrants - Growing Up in Country Australia is a unique and revealing snapshot of rural life. Contributors include Holden Sheppard, Laura Jean McKay, Annabel Crabb, Sami Shah, Lech Blaine, Tony Armstrong, Bridie Jabour, Jes Layton, Lily Chan, Jay Carmichael and many others.
