In his latest publication, “Growing Up in Berrima” (published by Balboa Press AU), Trevor Wrightson gives readers a glimpse of the past as he recounts his life growing up in the 1930s to the 1950s.
Wrightson was born in 1934 during the Great Depression, in the small town of Berrima, located in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. He was 6 years old when the World War II commenced. His town was selected to train soldiers to fire guns, cannons, drive tanks and trucks, and march through the street of Berrima. In this memoir, he tells of the bombing of Darwin and 14 other towns and cities in Australia, after the Japanese invaded New Guinea. Their intention was to attack Australia and this story outlines how the Australian soldiers defended their country.
