BANJO PATERSON Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, under the shade of a coolabah tree, and he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, you’ll come a waltzing matilda with me. ‘Banjo’ Paterson was a poet who captured the magic of Australia’s bush and the characters who lived there. His ballads inspired a pride in Australia unseen before in the country’s history. Banjo’s "Waltzing Matilda" has become Australia’s unofficial national anthem. Andrew Barton Paterson was born in 1864 on a farm in New South Wales, the eldest of seven children. We know about Banjo’s childhood because he wrote about it for his grandchildren. These stories were published in a book "The Illalong Children" "My first impressions are of life on a mixed sheep and cattle station called Buckinbah in the west of New South Wales somewhere about 1868. "My father was away from home a lot, looking after our Queensland place and my mother was busy from daylight until dark with household work." When Banjo was seven years old the family moved to "Illalong" - a property near the Snowy Mountains.

Clancy of The Overflow by A. B. ('Banjo') Paterson (1864 - 1941) I had written him a letter which I had, for want of better Knowledge, sent to where I met him down the Lachlan, years ago, He was shearing when I knew him, so I sent the letter to him, Just "on spec", addressed as follows, "Clancy, of The Overflow" And an answer came directed in a writing unexpected, (And I think the same was written with a thumb-nail dipped in tar) 'Twas his shearing mate who wrote it, and verbatim I will quote it: "Clancy's gone to Queensland droving, and we don't know where he are." In my wild erratic fancy visions come to me of Clancy Gone a-droving "down the Cooper" where the Western drovers go; As the stock are slowly stringing, Clancy rides behind them singing, For the drover's life has pleasures that the townsfolk never know. And the bush hath friends to meet him, and their kindly voices greet him In the murmur of the breezes and the river on its bars, And he sees the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended, And at night the wondrous glory of the everlasting stars.

THE GEEBUNG POLO CLUB by A.B. "Banjo" Paterson (1864 - 1941) It was somewhere up the country in a land of rock and scrub, That they formed an institution called the Geebung Polo Club. They were long and wiry natives of the rugged mountainside, And the horse was never saddled that the Geebungs couldn't ride; But their style of playing polo was irregular and rash - They had mighty little science, but a mighty lot of dash: And they played on mountain ponies that were muscular and strong, Though their coats were quite unpolished, and their manes and tails were long. And they used to train those ponies wheeling cattle in the scrub: They were demons, were the members of the Geebung Polo Club. It was somewhere down the country, in a city's smoke and steam, That a polo club existed, called the Cuff and Collar Team. As a social institution 'twas a marvellous success, For the members were distinguished by exclusiveness and dress. They had natty little ponies that were nice, and smooth, and sleek, For their cultivated owners only rode 'em once a week.

Andrew Barton "Banjo" Patterson ) was a famous Australian bush poet'. He wrote many ballads and poems about Australian life, focusing particularly on the rural and outback areas. One of his most famous poems is Waltzing Matilda , which was set to music and became one of Australia's most famous songs. Others include The Man From Snowy River , which (loosely) inspired a movie in 1980 and (even more loosely) inspired a TV series in the 1990s, and Clancy of the Overflow , the tale of a Queensland "drover" (cattle handler responsible for herding large mobs of cattle long distances to market), amongst several others. Patterson's poems mostly presented a highly romantic view of rural Australia. Patterson himself, like a majority of Australians even then and even more so since, was city-based and indeed was a practising lawyer. One may contrast his work with the (almost as famous) prose of
