In the original bush Ballad by Banjo Paterson, the man from Snowy River is never named. He is just described as being a stripling on a small and weedy beast.

In the movie, which was a loose adaptation of the ballad, the man from Snowy River was given the name of Jim Craig, and played by actor Tom Burlinson. There were a number of stunt riders, among them Ken Connley, Gerald Egan, Bill Stacey, Louis Trifunic and Bill Willoughby.

'Banjo' Paterson in Australia.Set among the cattlemen that raised cattle and horses in the high country of southern New South Wales, where the Snowy River has its source, it is a typically patriotic "bush ballad" that champions the "underdog" (the man from Snowy River) who was described as a stripling on a small and weedy beast - yet was the only one able to return not only an escaped valuable horse, but a whole herd of mountain brumbies.
