Mates at Billabong is a classic Australian children's novel written by Mary Grant Bruce. The story follows the adventures of Norah Linton and her friends as they spend their summer holidays at Billabong, a remote cattle station in the Australian bush. Norah and her friends, including her brother Jim, must learn to adapt to life in the outback as they explore the rugged terrain, swim in the billabong, and help with the daily chores on the station. Along the way, they encounter a variety of challenges and obstacles, including a dangerous bushfire, a lost child, and a mysterious stranger who may be up to no good. With their courage, resourcefulness, and loyalty to each other, Norah and her mates prove that they are more than capable of handling anything that comes their way. Mates at Billabong is a timeless tale of adventure, friendship, and the spirit of the Australian bush.If the Doctor ever gives me anything barring the length of his tongue, I'll have apoplexy! remarked Wally. We don't twin-soul a bit better than we did. He caught me beautifully the other day. Three or four of us were going to have a supper. I'd been into town to the dentist, and was bringing home a lobster. Coming out, that idiot Bob Greenfield was next me on the train, and he amused himself by rubbing the lobster gently until the thin brown paper they wrap 'em in had worn through in places. I was talking cricket for all I was worth, and never noticed him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
