Book one in the series. The rear cover states: You could ride all day and never see anyone you didn't want to see. Billabong, a large cattle and sheep property in the Australian countryside, is home to twelve-year-old Norah Linton, her widowed father, David and her older brother, Jim.  Norah's prim and proper aunts, who live in the city, consider she is in danger of "growing up wild"--riding all over Billabong on her beloved pony, Bobs, helping with the mustering, and joining in all the holiday fun when Jim and his friends come home from boarding school.  A fishing trip they plan results in unexpected drama when they discover a mysterious stranger camped in the bush.  Who is this stranger and why is he there?  Subsequent developments test Norah's resourcefulness to the full. The fifteen enormously popular Billabong books have become Australian classics.  Three generations of young readers have enjoyed these stories, originally published between 1910 and 1942.  While some things then were very different from today, others--such as families, friendships and feelings haven't changed at all, and the Billabong books are as enjoyable as ever.
