Clarification please

From In the Heart of the Outback... by Barbara Hannay (Harlequin):

"You could probably do with a cup of tea after seeing all this."
"A cup of tea?" She shot him a puzzled glance.
"We can go down to the river and make billy tea before we start looking for the cattle"
.... Bryne had a billycan and all the makings for tea in his saddle bag...

Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, but I would like to know what billy tea is. Anyone have a clue?
