THE TRAVELLING POST OFFICE by A.B. "Banjo" Paterson The roving breezes come and go, the reed beds sweep and sway, The sleepy river murmurs low, and loiters on its way, It is the land of lots o' time along the Castlereagh. The old man's son had left the farm, he found it dull and slow, He drifted to the great North-west where all the rovers go. "He's gone so long," the old man said, "he's dropped right out of mind, But if you'd write a line to him I'd take it very kind; He's shearing here and fencing there, a kind of waif and stray, He's droving now with Conroy's sheep along the Castlereagh. The sheep are travelling for the grass, and travelling very slow; They may be at Mundooran now, or past the Overflow, Or tramping down the black soil flats across by Waddiwong, But all those little country towns would send the letter wrong, The mailman, if he's extra tired, would pass them in his sleep, It's safest to address the note to "Care of Conroy's sheep", For five and twenty thousand head can scarcely go astray, You write to "Care of Conroy's sheep along the Castlereagh"." By rock and ridge and riverside the western mail has gone, Across the great Blue Mountain Range to take that letter on. A moment on the topmost grade while open fire doors glare, She pauses like a living thing to breathe the mountain air, Then launches down the other side across the plains away To bear that note to "Conroy's sheep along the Castlereagh".

THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER by A.B. "Banjo" Paterson There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around That the colt from old Regret had got away, And had joined the wild bush horses - he was worth a thousand pound, So all the cracks had gathered to the fray. All the tried and noted riders from the stations near and far Had mustered at the homestead overnight, For the bushmen love hard riding where the wild bush horses are, And the stockhorse snuffs the battle with delight. There was Harrison, who made his pile when Pardon won the cup, The old man with his hair as white as snow; But few could ride beside him when his blood was fairly up - He would go wherever horse and man could go. And Clancy of the Overflow came down to lend a hand, No better horseman ever held the reins; For never horse could throw him while the saddle girths would stand, He learnt to ride while droving on the plains. And one was there, a stripling on a small and weedy beast, He was something like a racehorse undersized, With a touch of Timor pony - three parts thoroughbred at least - And such as are by mountain horsemen prized. He was hard and tough and wiry - just the sort that won't say die - There was courage in his quick impatient tread; And he bore the badge of gameness in his bright and fiery eye, And the proud and lofty carriage of his head. But still so slight and weedy, one would doubt his power to stay, And the old man said, "That horse will never do For a long a tiring gallop - lad, you'd better stop away, Those hills are far too rough for such as you." So he waited sad and wistful - only Clancy stood his friend - "I think we ought to let him come," he said; "I warrant he'll be with us when he's wanted at the end, For both his horse and he are mountain bred.

BANJO PATERSON Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, under the shade of a coolabah tree, and he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, you’ll come a waltzing matilda with me. ‘Banjo’ Paterson was a poet who captured the magic of Australia’s bush and the characters who lived there. His ballads inspired a pride in Australia unseen before in the country’s history. Banjo’s "Waltzing Matilda" has become Australia’s unofficial national anthem. Andrew Barton Paterson was born in 1864 on a farm in New South Wales, the eldest of seven children. We know about Banjo’s childhood because he wrote about it for his grandchildren. These stories were published in a book "The Illalong Children" "My first impressions are of life on a mixed sheep and cattle station called Buckinbah in the west of New South Wales somewhere about 1868. "My father was away from home a lot, looking after our Queensland place and my mother was busy from daylight until dark with household work." When Banjo was seven years old the family moved to "Illalong" - a property near the Snowy Mountains.

Clancy of The Overflow by A. B. ('Banjo') Paterson (1864 - 1941) I had written him a letter which I had, for want of better Knowledge, sent to where I met him down the Lachlan, years ago, He was shearing when I knew him, so I sent the letter to him, Just "on spec", addressed as follows, "Clancy, of The Overflow" And an answer came directed in a writing unexpected, (And I think the same was written with a thumb-nail dipped in tar) 'Twas his shearing mate who wrote it, and verbatim I will quote it: "Clancy's gone to Queensland droving, and we don't know where he are." In my wild erratic fancy visions come to me of Clancy Gone a-droving "down the Cooper" where the Western drovers go; As the stock are slowly stringing, Clancy rides behind them singing, For the drover's life has pleasures that the townsfolk never know. And the bush hath friends to meet him, and their kindly voices greet him In the murmur of the breezes and the river on its bars, And he sees the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended, And at night the wondrous glory of the everlasting stars.

Australian Poetry When I think of great Australian poet's the names A. B. 'Banjo' Paterson Henry Lawson and Dorothea Mackellar spring to mind. This is just a very small collection of their works. Andrew Barton ('Banjo') Paterson Andrew Barton Paterson (1864 - 1941) was most famous for his stirring Bush Ballads . 'The Banjo', the name of a racehorse his father once owned, was the pen-name used by Paterson when he began contributing verses to The Bulletin, an influential newspaper of the time. His first big success was 'Clancy of the Overflow' which appeared in 1889. Paterson was born 17 February 1864, at Narambla, New South Wales. He was the son of a Scottish immigrant and the eldest of seven children. His younger years were spent near Yass in NSW. He attended Sydney Grammar School, but left at the age of 16. Paterson sat unsuccessfully for a university scholarship and entered a lawyer's office as an articled clerk - later becoming managing clerk and then a partner in the firm, Street and Paterson. Banjo Paterson was commissioned by the Sydney Morning Herald and became a successful journalist and war correspondent during the Boer War in 1899, and the Boxer Rebellion in China, in 1901.

79. Australian Racing Hall Of Fame AB Banjo Paterson 1864 – 1941 Few wrote with such passion forthe sport of racing as Banjo Paterson. From an early career http://www.racinghalloffame.com.au/inductees/banjo.htm

A Breasley T Hales R Higgins G Moore ... TJ Smith A.B. "Banjo" Paterson Few wrote with such passion for the sport of racing as "Banjo" Paterson. From an early career as a jumps jockey, Paterson became perhaps Australia’s greatest writer on racing and its characters. One of his earliest efforts was the poem A Dream Of The Melbourne Cup (1886) whilst other poems included Only A Jockey Tommy Corrigan (1894) and In The Stable Paterson’s prose included The Shearer’s Colt , a novel about racing published in 1936 while perhaps his most famous work The Man From Snowy River (1890) was later made into a highly successful motion picture. Paterson also served as a correspondent (on horseback) during the Boer War and later became Editor of The Sportsman The Oxford Companion To Australian Literature perhaps best summed up Paterson when it called him "the supreme balladist of the horse".
