In a complete change of tempo for my blog today, I would like to introduce you to one of my extra favourite poets. And naturally with one of my favourite poems of AB ‘Banjo’ Patterson. In the latter years of the 19th century, Australia was fortunate to have two great poets. Patterson and Henry Lawson. They viewed the tough life of colonial Australia in very different lights. Lawson always darker that Patterson. Many of their poems were in response to one another and were regularly published in a journal called The Bulletin in Sydney. So if you are new to Patterson. Enjoy. THE MAN FROM IRONBARK by A.B. “Banjo” Paterson
