Three only!
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..."
Banjo Paterson based Waltzing Matilda on a true story.The central character is based on a man named Samuel "Frenchy" Hoffmeister. In September 1894, on the Dagworth sheep station north of Winton, some shearers were in a strike that turned violent. The strikers fired off their rifles and pistols in the air and then set fire to the woolshed at the Dagworth Homestead, killing over a hundred sheep. The owner of Dagworth Homestead and three policemen pursued Hoffmeister who, rather than be captured, shot and killed himself at a billabong.
