“Mary Grant Bruce takes us far from a world at war, in a book that gives a picture of the real Australia.  The Billabong folk ride again – this time in wild country, bringing cattle overland from the North.  With them we share the droving life, its comradeships, adventures, dangers and laughter.  This is a story of good horses and dogs, and their owners; and of a boy who found among them a new chance in life.”
