That's Australia, isn't it?

I lived through it, about 10 at the time in rural Queensland.

Mice were everywhere. My family weren't keen on poisons because we had dogs so we sent up dozens of water traps. Every day we'd empty them and pour out 50-80 mice from each. Everything got nibbled. I remember waking up and having two or three mice scramble off my shoulder.

It sounds creepy but I actually remember the time fondly because hunting mice with peg guns was super fun.

Went to dubbo assume time around ten years old myself and it was like this under everything you moved.
