| the swagman by cj dennis: Once a Jolly Swagman Matthew Richardson, 2006-01-01 'Banjo' Paterson's 'Waltzing Matilda' is the one song that has been bringing people together spontaneously since 1895, and the one song that belongs to all Australians.Generations of experts have argued about the original story that Paterson immortalised, about the origins of the tune, and about what Paterson meant by his almost parodic over-use of Australian colloquialisms.Once a Jolly Swagman takes readers off the score sheet into the story of the song, and tells of its evolution up until the twenty-first century. It tries to answer the riddles within the song, and unpick its inherent contradictions: where's the heroism in a suicidal thief? What was jolly about the jumbuck? Is 'Waltzing Matilda' the key to Australian values? What does it mean that a beloved song about Australia's pioneering past is written by a city lawyer?In this age of economic rationalism and a globalised world, how does a voice from the billabong saying, 'You'll come a waltzing matilda with me' still matter, and what does it tell us about ourselves? |
| the swagman by cj dennis: Saltbush Bill, J. P. Andrew Barton Paterson, 2020-09-28 Not for the love of women toil we, we of the craft, Not for the people's praise; Only because our goddess made us her own and laughed, Claiming us all our days, Claiming our best endeavourÑbody and heart and brain Given with no reserveÑ Niggard is she towards us, granting us little gain; Still, we are proud to serve. Not unto us is given choice of the tasks we try, Gathering grain or chaff; One of her favoured servants toils at an epic high, One, that a child may laugh. Yet if we serve her truly in our appointed place, Freely she doth accord Unto her faithful servants always this saving grace, Work is its own reward! |

Many a fine and brave warrior stands beside him to share his yoke, whilst he is still coming of age himself. He is presented with a magnificent katana Star Sword (a unique blade forged from the remnants of a meteor) which brings with it a group of trained and dedicated swordsmen.

Alexander weaves his way through a tapestry of epic misadventures, as his journey twists and turns, pitiless battles, powerful villains and macabre situations, all to defend his country, his family, his people and his honour. His friends become his enemies and his enemies become his friends, as he forges on through life’s mysteries and obstacles, armed only with his blade, reliance on his close associates and self-assurance, all the time battling with the notion in his head, that the Fates are toying with his life and happiness. ‘In the Hand the Blade’ is the first book in a series of novels that follows Alexander, from his being an insecure young man, through his periods of maturity as he develops and fights his own demons, as he struggles against the overwhelming odds of the challenges that the Fates, throw in his path. |

| the swagman by cj dennis: Waltzing Matilda Andrew Barton Paterson, 2019-12 This famous ballad of the outback wanderer who drowned himself rather than lose his freedom needs no introduction.

| the swagman by cj dennis: Mulga Bill's Bicycle Andrew Barton Paterson, 1993-09-15 Celebrating 40 years in print this is a new edition of the classic children's poem by Australia's favourite poet, A.B. 'Banjo' Paterson. Mulga Bill's Bicycle was written by Banjo Paterson in 1896. It was written at a time when cycling was a relatively new and popular social activity. Cycles were ridden everywhere, including in the outback by shearers and other workers who needed to travel cheaply. Mulga Bill's Bicycle tells the hilarious story of Mulga Bill, who thinks he's much better at cycling than he turns out to be. A resounding crash sends him back to his original mode of transport - his trusty horse. Kilmeny and Deborah Niland's delightful illustrations catch the mood and humour of Paterson's verse with great spirit, and this book has become an enduring classic. |

| the swagman by cj dennis: Yodelling Boundary Riders: Country Music in Australia since the 1920s Toby Martin, 2015-02-01 This landmark book tells the story of one of the most enduring forms of popular culture in Australia. Prior to the 1950s, country music was called hillbilly music. Hillbilly was the rock ‘n’ roll of its day. The latest craze, straight from America, it was young, exciting and glamorous. This book traces the journey hillbilly took to become country: the rural nationalistic form it is known as today. Yodelling Boundary Riders is the first book to contextualise country music into a broader story about Australian history. Not just concerned with the development of music itself, it is also a history of the ways in which Australians have responded to the rapid rate of change in the twentieth century and the global fascination with “authenticity”. True to its subject matter, the writing is colourful and entertaining. Along the way Martin introduces some wonderful characters and events: yodelling stockmen, singing cowgirls, sentimental cowboys, coo-ees in Nashville, hobos on the mail train, the Sheik of Scrubby Creek and Australia’s craziest hillbillies. |

| the swagman by cj dennis: Alfred's War Rachel Bin Salleh, 2018-04-02 Alfred's War is a powerful story that unmasks the lack of recognition given to Australian Indigenous servicemen who returned from the WWI battlelines. Alfred was just a young man when he was injured and shipped home from France. Neither honoured as a returned soldier or offered government support afforded to non-Indigenous servicemen, Alfred took up a solitary life walking the back roads - billy tied to his swag, finding work where he could. Rachel Bin Salleh's poignant narrative opens our hearts to the sacrifice and contribution that Indigenous people have made to Australia's war efforts, the true extent of which is only now being revealed. |
