"Norah of Billabong" by Mary Grant Bruce is a tale set in the early 1900s, telling the story of Norah Linton, a lively fifteen-year-old, who is coming back to Billabong Station after being away at boarding school, full of excitement and a touch of homesickness. The book kicks off with "breaking up" day at Beresford House, where Norah is overjoyed to see her friend Wally Meadows and then her own family, highlighting the strong connection she has with them. The story shows us what school is like for her compared to growing up in the Australian bush. Norah's story shows the joy she has as she goes back home, and the adventures that await her in the Australian countryside.
