Oh it's-a lonesome away from your kindred and all
By the campfire at night we'll hear the wild dingoes call
But there's-a nothing so lonesome, morbid or drear
Than to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer
Now the publican's anxious for the quota to come
And there's a far away look on the face of the bum
The maid's gone all cranky and the cook's acting queer
Oh what a terrible place is a pub with no beer
Then the stockman rides up with his dry dusty throat
He breasts up to the bar and pulls a wad from his coat
But the smile on his face quickly turns to a sneer
As the barman says sadly the pub's got no beer
Then the swaggie comes in smothered in dust and flies
He throws down his roll and rubs the sweat from his eyes
But when he is told, he says what's this I hear
I've trudged fifty flamin' miles to a pub with no beer
Now there's a dog on the v'randa, for his master he waits
But the boss is inside drinking wine with his mates
He hurries for cover and he cringes in fear
It's no place for a dog 'round a pub with no beer
And old Billy the blacksmith, the first time in his life
Why he's gone home cold sober to his darling wife
He walks in the kitchen, she says you're early Bill dear
But then he breaks down and tells her the pub's got no beer
Oh it's hard to believe that there's customers still
But the money's still tinkling in the old ancient till
The wine buffs are happy and I know they're sincere
When they say they don't care if the pub's got no beer
So it's-a lonesome away from your kindred and all
By the campfire at night we'll hear the wild dingoes call
But there's-a nothing so lonesome, morbid or drear-a.
Than to stand in the bar of that pub with no beer.

The film "The Man from Snowy River" was based loosely on the A.B. (Banjo) Paterson poem of the same name. It was filmed in the Snowy Mountains, which is a broad and undefined area of the Australian Alps, part of the Great Dividing Range that crosses through the eastern part of Victoria, the southernmost mainland state of Australia.
The specific area of the Victorian high country in which much of the movie was filmed is Merrijig and the area around Mt Buller.
Because it is a contest patronised by Australia's top artists as well as some new ones.
there was 5874 episodes aired ..there are few more episodes to date. The show was resurrected recently due to public demand(Oct 2009). There have been some controversial issues with the new episodes. This caused quite a lot of publicity for the show (not all good). I was in the audience 4 times and seen on screen each time, before it was cancelled. My face was even in a daily promo for the show a few years ago.
"Waltzing Matilda" was written by Andrew Barton Paterson, also known as 'Banjo' Paterson, in 1895.
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.
The identity of the composer of the tune is uncertain, but this much is known: it was set to a catchy tune which a friend of Paterson's had heard at the Warrnambool races. The poem and song was first performed on 6 April 1895 at the North Gregory Hotel in Winton, Queensland.
