There is a warmth, richness and humour about the poems of Banjo Paterson that has endeared them to generations of Australians.
The Man from Snowy River, Mulga Bills Bicycle and The Geebung Polo Club are as well known to today’s school children as they are to their parents and grandparents.
The words Waltzing Matilda have, of course, become recognised in every part of the world as Australia’s own song.
Combined with Pro Hart’s paintings, which capture the humour of some of these poems, the pathos and loneliness of others, the poems come alive one more.
