Mouse plagues in Australia have occurred several times throughout parts of Australia since wild mice were introduced by European colonists along with the First Fleet in 1788.[1] Australia and China are the two countries in the world where plagues of mice are known to occur.[2]

Mouse plagues occur in southern and eastern Australia usually in the grain-growing regions around every four years. Aggregating around food sources during plagues, the density of mice can reach up to 3,000 mice per hectare.[2]

An early localised plague of mice occurred around Walgett in New South Wales in 1871.[3] In 1872 another plague was recorded near Saddleworth in South Australia with farmers ploughing the soil to destroy mice nests.[4]

In 1880 a plague of mice was noted along an area of the Goulburn River.[5]

South Australia experienced another plague in 1890 in the Mid North region in areas around Oladdie,[6] Mundoora[7] and Georgetown.[8]

In 1904 further plagues occurred in parts of New South Wales including Condobolin and other parts of the Lachlan River[9] and around Moree, New South Wales[10] extending all the way to coastal areas.[11]

The plague of 1917 was one of the largest mouse plagues in Australia that occurred on and around the Darling Downs area of Queensland,[13] areas around Beulah,[12] Campbells Creek[13] and Willenabrina[14] in Victoria and parts of South Australia including Balaklava[15] Eventually mice reached the Goldfields-Esperance[16] and Wheatbelt[17] regions of Western Australia.

Plagues of mice have been occurring ever since with increasing frequency.[18]

More incidences of plagues occurred in 1918 in parts of Victoria[19] and New South Wales.[20] In 1922 areas around Dubbo, New South Wales[21] and Tamworth[22] in New South Wales were hit again followed by more plagues through the Riverina in 1925.[23]

Mice struck again in 1928 in parts of Queensland around Warwick[24]

Further plagues occurred around Wimmera[25] in Victoria, Loxton[26] in South Australia and Winton[27] in Queensland in 1931 and more recorded in parts of New South Wales in 1932 including Culgoa[28] and Parkes.[29] The next plague hit areas around Warracknabeal and Hopetoun in Victoria but was less intense than the 1932 plagues.[30]

In 1952 parts of Victoria and South Australia were struck by mouse plagues.[31][32]

Areas in New South Wales[33] and Queensland were hit by mouse plagues in 1955.[34]

In 1956 parts of the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia experienced the worst mouse plague the area had known.[35]

Parts of outback New South Wales around Bourke were hit by plagues of mice in 1967.[36]

In 1972 parts of Queensland were hit by mouse plagues[37] as were parts of Victoria and New South Wales in 1975.[38]

A plague in Victoria in 1979 cost farmers {{AUD}}15 million in lost crops and damaged machinery.[39] the plagues continued into 1980.[40]

Australia's worst ever mouse plague occurred in 1993 and caused an estimated {{AUD}}96 million worth of damage to crops and attacked livestock in piggeries and poultry farms. They also destroyed rubber and electrical insulation, damaged farm vehicles, and ruined cars and buildings.[41][2]

Another plague occurred in 1994 affecting parts of New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory[42] South Australia and northern Victoria.[43]

Mouse numbers built to plague numbers in early 2011 in southern Queensland, through New South Wales, western Victoria and South Australia[44] spreading to the Nullarbor Plain region of Western Australia in late 2011.[45]
