Waltzing Matilda tells the story of a swagman who camps by a billabong (waterhole). While he's there, a jumbuck (ram) comes down to take a drink at the billabong. The swagman swipes the jumbuck, shoving it in his swag, whereupon the troopers (police) appear to arrest him. To evade arrest, he jumps into the billabong, whereupon he drowns. "And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong..."
