What kind of poem is Waltzing Matilda?

Waltzing Matilda is an Australian poem because it is based on a real Australian event, and involves some unique Australian terms. Words such as billabong, swagman and coolibah are not used outside of Australia.Waltzing Matilda drew attention to the difficult conditions surrounding the Great Shearer's Strike of the late 1800s. The lyrics were based on the story of a man named Samuel "Frenchy" Hoffmeister. In September 1894, on the Dagworth sheep station north of Winton, Queensland, 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.


What awards has Banjo Paterson won?

Andrew Barton Paterson, or Banjo Paterson, was actually trained as a fully qualified solicitor. He was also passionately nationalistic, which made him popular with Australians in a newly-established country searching for its individuality apart from Britain. In 1885, Paterson started publishing his poetry in the Sydney edition of The Bulletin, using the pseudonym of "The Banjo", the name of a favourite horse. In 1890 he wrote the poem "The Man From Snowy River", which really caught the heart of the nation, and in 1895 had a collection of his works published under that name. This book is the most sold collection of Australian Bush Poetry and is still being reprinted today. He was also the author of other well known poems such "Clancy of the Overflow", "Mulga Bill's Bicycle" and, of course, "Waltzing Matilda". Paterson was also a war correspondent during the Boer war.


Why did banjo Paterson write The Man From Snowy River?

Banjo Paterson was a prolific poet, and a keen horseman. He was inspired by the story of "Jack Riley", the original Man from Snowy River. Riley had migrated to Australia in 1852, when he was 13, and he had earned his way and his reputation as an able stockman in the High Country near Corryong. Paterson was introduced to Jack Riley, and heard yarns of the stockman's adventures: it was these stories which inspired Paterson to write what is arguably his best-known poem.
