There's no knowing the treachery of a yalla horse.
Mrs Reilly warns her daughter, Mary-Kate, about the dangers of horses after a terrifying ride. But if it hadn't been for that yellow horse, the Reillys would not have met the Lintons of Billabong and received much needed help in a time of crisis.
Another crisis and more serious treachery lies in store for Wally Meadows, who is summoned urgently to Queensland when his brother dies. Are Wally's suspicions of skulduggery around his family properties justified? In his attempts to discover the truth, Wally is saved from certain death by the miraculous intervention of his friend, Freddy Paxton. And when Norah rushes to Wally's bedside in a Brisbane nursing home, they both realise that their long-standing mateship has deepened into love.
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.
