1 My Story Alicia Bates , 2018 single work life story
— Appears in: Growing Up Aboriginal in Australia 2018; (p. 21-25)

'Born in 1989 in Warrnambool, Victoria, on Peek Whurrong-Gunditjmara country, I was my parents' first child and lucky enough to be the first grandchild born on both sides of the family. This meant that I had many significant and close relationships with my extended family, being spoilt by my great-grandmother Ma (Dad's nanna), Nanna (Mum's mum), and my uncles and aunties. During the first five years of my life, my parents bought their first home together in Portland, where my dad was a shift worker at the smelter.' (Introduction)
