Where did the man from snowy river die?

Answer 1

In Banjo Paterson's bush Ballad, "The Man From Snowy River", the main character did not die. He and his horse returned, triumphant, after collecting the wild horses and the escaped colt from Old Regret.

However, the man on whom Banjo Paterson's poem was based, horseman Jack Riley, eventually died of combined old age and illness in July 1914, many years after the ballad was written. At the time of his death, friends had carried him as far as a deserted miners' hut at Surveyor's Creek Junction, where they stopped overnight while trying to get Riley to a hospital at Corryong.
