Back to Billabong
Author: Mary Grant Bruce
Hard cover. Fair condition. Inscribed in 1942.
Back to Billabong (1921) by Mary Grant Bruce is the seventh book in the popular Billabong series and continues the adventures of the Linton family after the First World War. The story begins with Norah, Jim, their father David Linton, and family friend Wally Meadows returning to their beloved Australian cattle station after several years away. They are joined by English siblings Bob and Cecilia (“Tommy”) Rainham, who escape a difficult life in England and come to Australia seeking a fresh start. As the newcomers adapt to life on the land, they discover the challenges and rewards of the Australian bush, from station work and drought to the threat of devastating bushfires. Combining adventure, family relationships, humour, and vivid descriptions of rural life, the novel celebrates friendship, resilience, and the idea of Australia as a welcoming new home. First published in 1921, Back to Billabong reflects Bruce’s idealised but affectionate vision of the Australian countryside and helped establish the enduring popularity of the Linton family stories.
