A.B. 'Banjo' Paterson was a famous writer of poems and short stories in Australia during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His stories depict typically Australian events and scenes, and he had a great deal to do with the increase in national pride, or patriotism, around the time of Federation. It is fitting that he should be remembered by being on the $10 note.
