It is 1915. Jim Linton and Wally Meadows, half a world away from Australia and Billabong, are serving in the British Army. During their initiation into the horrors of trench warfare in France, they experience the enemy's deadly new weapon: poison gas. They both spend their convalescence in the green countryside of Ireland, together with Jim's sixteen-year-old sister, Norah, and their father, David. But the rest days spent fishing and riding across the hills, bring unexpected and perilous drama, which they share with a new friend, the gallant Irishman, John O'Neill.

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.
