G'Day Peter,
I think I can now call you 'cobber'.
Thank you for your kind thoughts and words, I thought you may like this little bit of Australiana.
Cheers, Gerri

Who'll Come A 'Walzting Matilda' With Me?

A Swagman is a person who roams the country side looking for work, tucker (food) and somewhere to camp for the night.  They are really harmless, generally  honest people who are down on their luck.  Outback Australia is where you would most likely come across Swagmen.

There is eerie mysterious solitude about the bush that is hard to resist - almost like an addiction.  It seems to engulf you and makes you want to linger.  Perhaps that is the answer why there are Swagmen.  In a way they are like Gypsies except they travel alone except maybe for a dog which probably replaces human company, but gives the Swagman some companionship.

The song Waltzing Matilda is about such a person
Once a Jolly Swagman camped by a billabong - etc the words are by A.B.Paterson one of our greatest poets.
