This famous ballad of the outback wanderer who drowned himself rather than lose his freedom needs no introduction. There is no swagman as legendary as the tragic hero of this tale, and there is no Australian song as well-known throughout the world. Here the famous ballad is given new depth and perspective. Talented illustrator Freya Blackwood has explored the intriguing background behind the writing of this song, and has shown us not just the lively story of a proud outback larrikin, but also a glimpse into the clashes and struggles that were so formative of Australian history.

Banjo Paterson is undoubtedly one of the best known and loved of all our great poets and occupies a very special place in the hearts of all Australians. Best known for writing Australia's unofficial national anthem Waltzing Matilda as well as the poem The Man from Snowy River, Banjo Paterson brings the bush of the past to life with humour, compassion and affection. 'Banjo' Paterson's parents came from Scotland and Paterson spent much of his early life growing up on a farm in country New South Wales, where he became familiar with the bush, the people and the wildlife. His account of his childhood there, Illalong Children, which he wrote for his family near the end of his own life, is fascinating reading for people of today and is included in this volume. Though he spent many years practising law, Paterson enjoyed writing poetry and was soon published in The Bulletin. His first book of poems was published in1885. He later became a war correspondent and a journalist, and in his later years spent time as a broadcaster at the ABC.
