His Father, Andrew was from Scotland, his family history lay mainly in farming in Larnarkshire. Young Andrew spent his formative years living at a station called “Buckenbah’ in the western districts of New South Wales.

Andrew began school in 1874, living with his grandmother in Gladesville, he was enrolled into Sydney Grammar School, one of the ‘great’ schools of the day. He was to spend the next 6 years of his life here. Not much is known about his school days but his eagerness for the holidays to return to his beloved bush is well known.

Site Map A B "Banjo" PATERSON (1864-1941) Paterson became a literary celebrity following the publication of 'The Man from Snowy River' in 1895. He is regarded as the premier Australian poet. His most popular works include 'Waltzing Matilda' and 'The Man from Snowy River'. When they reached the mountain's summit, even Clancy took a pull. It well might make the boldest hold their breath; The wild hop scrub grew thickly, and the hidden ground was full Of wombat holes, and any slip was death. But the man from Snowy River let the pony have his head, And swung his stock-whip round and gave a cheer, And raced him down the mountain like a torrent down its bed, While the others stood and watched in very fear.

But, Lord, you can fix 'em up if you want to. Did you ever hear about Henery, that used to drive for old John Bull about Henery and the elephant?" Alfred was chauffeur to a friend of mine who owned a very powerful car. Alfred was part of that car. Weirdly intelligent, of poor physique, he might have been any age from fifteen to eighty. His education had been somewhat hurried, but there was no doubt as to his mechanical ability. He took to a car like a young duck to water. He talked motor, thought motor, and would have accepted I won't say with enthusiasm, for Alfred's motto was 'Nil admirari' but without hesitation, an offer to drive in the greatest race in the world. He could drive really well, too; as for belief in himself, after six months' apprenticeship in a garage he was prepared to vivisect a six-cylinder engine with the confidence of a diplomaed bachelor of engineering.

The family owned a race horse named Banjo and in his earlier writings for the Bulletin, Paterson used the pseudonym 'The Banjo'. Banjo Paterson was born at Narambla Station, New South Wales but considered his home on Illalong Station near Yass, New South Wales as his childhood home. Many experiences during his childhood where he was in contact with drovers, bushrangers, and teamsters became the basis for his writings including the Australian Bush Myths. Paterson was the eldest child of Andrew Bogle Paterson, an immigrant to Australia in 1850, and Rose Isabella (nee Barton). Banjo began his education at the small country school in Binalong and later was sent to Sydney (Gladesville) where he lived with his widowed grandmother Emily Mary Barton. After finishing his education in Sydney, he became a clerk in a solicitor's office. Paterson was admitted as a solicitor in August 1886.
