If there's a skeleton in your family's closet... ...you may as well make him dance! Come-By-Chance A. B. "Banjo" Paterson As I pondered very weary o'er a volume long and dreary For the plot was void of interest 'twas the Postal Guide, in fact, There I learnt the true location, distance, size, and population Of each township, town, and village in the radius of the Act. And I learnt that Puckawidgee stands beside the Murrumbidgee, And that Booleroi and Bumble get their letters twice a year, Also that the post inspector, when he visited Collector, Closed the office up instanter, and re-opened Dungalear. But my languid mood forsook me, when I found a name that took me, Quite by chance I came across it `Come-by-Chance' was what I read; No location was assigned it, not a thing to help one find it, Just an N which stood for northward, and the rest was all unsaid. I shall leave my home, and forthward wander stoutly to the northward Till I come by chance across it, and I'll straightway settle down, For there can't be any hurry

Dorothy Gauvin Articles of Interest for Artists by Dorothy Gauvin Art Gallery Gauvin To contact Dorothy, click on her photo, which will take you to her web site and e-mail Making Memorable Art The Power Of Story It was the eve of my trip to California, touring the first group of paintings from my Banjo Paterson's People series. The pictures to be exhibited were being previewed for Australian collectors at a cocktail party hosted by the gallery which represented my work at the time. Suddenly, a trendy local architect loomed up beside me, champagne flute in hand. Looking down the considerable length of his nose at me, he commented: "So, you're really an illustrator, I see." I beamed up at him and gushed: "Oh, thank you!" His smirk made his thought transparent: (She's too dumb to even realise she's just been insulted.) Then I added: "You've elevated me into the company of Michelangelo and Leonardo, Raphael and Rembrandt." As his jaw hit his chest, it was clear the truth had hit him between the eyes, and I walked away, laughing. Now, why could I dare list my work alongside the Masters? Because their "book" was The Bible; mine was Banjo Paterson (1864-1941.) (That night, I didn't bother to point out that of close to 300 titles in my Register of sold paintings at the time, only 33 were based on Paterson poems or stories. The current totals are 400 and 63, plus 30 "illustrations" of my own version of the story of Paterson's words to "Waltzing Matilda.") But back to the Masters:

Andrew Barton Banjo Paterson And the bush has 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. W ebmasters Note: For those of us involved in not only the collection of data for "The Waltzing Matilda Story" web site, but the bigger "picture" of Waltzing Matilda, Andrew Barton Banjo Paterson, along with Christina Rutherford Macpherson, are, and will always be, very special Australians. It is not possible to do justice to the life and time of "A B" in the space available and at the same time keep the readers interest over a few monitor screens. As such, what follows is an all but too brief overview of the man to whom the swagman/shearers of the 1890's, and those of us who have followed them, owe a great debt. Banjo has immortalised the Australian spirit in a song for what ever reason has been braced by the nation as typically Australian. Although the greater percentage of Australians had, or may still have, no idea what the song really meant or why it was written, they could still identify with the ethos of a fair go .

A BUSH CHRISTENING - A.B. "Banjo" Paterson On the outer Barcoo where the churches are few, And men of religion are scanty, On a road never cross'd 'cept by folk that are lost, One Michael Magee had a shanty. Now this Mike was the dad of a ten-year-old lad, Plump, healthy, and stoutly conditioned; He was strong as the best, but poor Mike had no rest For the youngster had never been christened, And his wife used to cry, "If the darlin' should die Saint Peter would not recognise him." But by luck he survived till a preacher arrived, Who agreed straightaway to baptise him. Now the artful young rogue, while they held their collogue, With his ear to the keyhole was listenin', And he muttered in fright while his features turned white, "What the divil and all is this christenin'?" He was none of your dolts, he had seen them brand colts, And it seemed to his small understanding, If the man in the frock made him one of the flock, It must mean something very like branding. So away with a rush he set off for the bush, While the tears in his eyelids they glistened- "'Tis outrageous," says he, "to brand youngsters like me, I'll be dashed if I'll stop to be christened!"

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.

Bush Poets and Poetry Famous Bush Poets AB "BANJO" PATERSON Andrew Barton (Banjo) Paterson is undoubtedly the most popular Australian balladist. He was born at Narambla, near Orange in New South Wales on the 17th of February 1864. He was the first born of Andrew Bogle Paterson, a scot who arrived in Australia in 1850, and his wife Rose Isabella (nee Barton). At the time of Andrew Barton Paterson's birth, his parents were living on a property known as 'Buckinbah', near Obley in the Central West of New South Wales. When he was seven years old his family moved to 'Illalong' near Binalong, and it was of here that most of his reminiscences of childhood were recalled in his early publication 'Illalong Children'. Experiences with aborigines, drovers, bushrangers, teamsters and bushmen alike gave him much grounding for his subsequent writing. When ten years old Paterson and his brother John were sent to live with their widowed grandmother Emily Mary Barton at "Rockend" on the Parramatta River, at Gladesville, a suburb of Sydney. He attended Sydney Grammar School, developed many sporting interests, including sculling and cricket. School holidays were spent at 'Illalong'.
