What other poems did AB Banjo Paterson write besides the man from snowy river?

Clancy of the Overflow, The Bush Christening, the Saltbush Bill series and Mulga Bill's Bicycle and many others were once very popular and Australian kids growing up in the 40s as I did often recited many of them in competitions. He also wrote many despatches as a war correspondent and hundreds of articles for various publications. His complete writings were published as a boxed set in the 80s[?] and may still be available. Henry Lawson's were also published this way.

Both Henry Lawson and AB 'Banjo' Paterson wrote many verses and stories depicting life and characters in Australia. Henry Lawson tended to write realistic depictions, whilst Banjo Paterson was more lighthearted and had a tendency to romanticise the bush.
Why do people associate Banjo Paterson with Australia?
Banjo Paterson was an Australian writer and poet, so it is natural to associate him with Australia. A.B. "Banjo" Paterson was passionately nationalistic, popular among many Australians in a fledgling country searching for its own identity apart from Britain. In 1890 he wrote "The Man From Snowy River", a poem which caught the heart of the nation for its sense of heroism and the way in which it put forward the concept of the "underdog" bettering all those who thought they were his superiors. This sort of writing underscored much of Paterson's work. Paterson was very much in favour of Australia being an autonomous nation, and that's why many of his heroes were from the among the "downtrodden". Unlike his contemporary Henry Lawson, Paterson presented a romanticised view of life in the bush, and many appreciated his larrikin wit more than Lawson's more realistic, drier view of life.
Is Banjo Paterson still famous as this day?
The best known Australian song of all time is Waltzing Matilda, attributed to Banjo Paterson written in 1895. The words may be very different now though. Banjo Paterson is Australia's most loved Bush Poet, but not at all well known outside Australia. To answer the question, 'Banjo' Paterson is not as famous now as he was in his own time. He was intensely patriotic, and his bush ballads and short stories increased the sense of nationalism within Australia, giving impetus to the push for Federation of the states. In modern times, many people are only aware Paterson wrote "Waltzing Matilda". Others know of "The Man from Snowy River", partly due to the 1980s movie of the same name that was loosely based on the ballad. Very few are aware of such humorous ballads as Mulga Bill's Bicycle; or the quirky short story "The Loaded Dog"; or the pathos of "Lost"; or the hundreds of Paterson's other works. Works such as these were well known and recited by schoolchildren in the early 20th century.
