The 'Camp-Fire Boys' are two American boys, sixteen year old Richard Brown (Dick) and his fourteen year old friend, Jimmy Waddell (Waddy), who travel about the world under the supervision of physician and scientist, Dr. Miller.

When their plane goes down in western Queensland, they meet an American-Australian pastoral family, are attacked by 'natives', solve a sheep rustling mystery, save a young woman's life, and inadvertently discover gold.
