Henry Lawson was one of Australia's best known poets and short story writers. Born on 17 June 1867, on the Grenfell goldfields in New South Wales, he became one of Australia's best-known fiction writers of the colonial period, and really promoted a sense of what was Australian. Much of Lawson's works dwelt on the Australian bush, accurately depicting the difficult conditions of life on dry, dusty outback stations and in bush towns. He was a realist who showed the hardships, yet also showed Australians' strength through these hardships. He promoted the concept of the 'underdog' rebelling against authority (e.g. his poem "Freedom on the Wallaby") and standing up for individual rights and the rights of the downtrodden minorities. Even today, Australians tend to have a bit of a problem with authority.
