Henry Lawson was one of Australia's best known poets and short story writers. Born on 17 June 1867, on the Grenfell goldfields in New South Wales, he became one of Australia's best-known fiction writers of the colonial period.
Much of Lawson's works dwelt on the Australian bush, accurately depicting the difficult conditions of life on dry, dusty outback stations and in bush towns. Unlike his contemporary, A.B. "Banjo" Paterson, he did not romanticise life in the bush, and any humour he displayed tended to be dry and sardonic, rather than like Paterson's larrikin wit. Lawson gained a loyal following after the Bulletin started to publish his stories and poems in 1888.
