Banjo true

In 1886, a nervous young lawyer and aspiring writer met the editor of a radical new paper to discuss the possibility of publishing some poetry. The writer - Andrew Barton 'Banjo' Paterson - thought his 'fractured verses' would not stand the test of time. Luckily, the editor thought otherwise and agreed to publish the works. The editor was right, and in the years that followed, Banjo Paterson became Australia's most-loved and influential poet. He created some of our most enduring characters. A business letter to a doubtful debtor gave us 'Clancy of the Overflow', a chat around a campfire at a remote mountain hut might have given birth to 'The Man From Snowy River', and a young woman's tuneful tinkling on a piano helped to create Australia's national song, the unsurpassed 'Waltzing Matilda'. Paterson rubbed shoulders with the famous, the infamous and the influential. In a life that took him from a bush boyhood to the battlefields of South Africa and France, he counted Rudyard Kipling, Harry 'Breaker' Morant and even his rival, Henry Lawson, as friends. He met great men such as Winston Churchill, Rudyard Kipling and the artist Norman Lindsay, but the heroes of his tales were ordinary folk - bushmen, battlers, swaggies, soldiers and farmers' wives. He told their tales of humour, tragedy and triumph set against a landscape that is both grindingly harsh and stunningly beautiful, and his words rolled off Australian tongues for generations. Banjo follows the life and inspirations of A.B. Paterson from his birth 150 years ago to his death in 1941. From the political upheaval captured in 'Waltzing Matilda' to the wistful longing for the clean air of the bush in 'Clancy', it meets the men and women who shaped the adolescent Australia as it shook off its convict beginnings to embrace its new place on the world stage. And as it follows in Paterson's footsteps from the outback to the Alps, Banjo revisits an Australia that no longer exists, yet one that defines our national character today.
