Author Talk: Tony Green - Mornington Library

Join author Tony Green as he shares the extraordinary story behind A Mouse at Moresby, a rare firsthand account of World War II in the Pacific.

When the threat of Japanese invasion loomed over Australia, Port Moresby became a critical line of defense. Through the eyes of Irvine Green—a young Australian photographer stationed in New Guinea—this gripping narrative captures the intensity, resilience, and humanity of those who faced the onslaught. Irvine’s diaries and letters, paired with hundreds of never-before-seen photographs, offer an unfiltered view of life on the front line: the danger, the camaraderie, and the moments of humour amidst chaos.

Compiled by Irvine’s son, Dr Tony Green, A Mouse at Moresby is both a vivid historical record and a deeply personal family legacy. Don’t miss this chance to hear Tony discuss the inspiration behind the book, the process of bringing his father’s words and images to life, and the untold stories of the “Mice of Moresby” who stood between Australia and disaster.
