First published in 1890, �The Man from Snowy River� tells the tale of horsemen pursuing an escaped prizewinning colt in mountainous country. Written
just prior to Federation, this ballad depicted something of an archetypal figure for a nation looking to forge a sense of itself: youthful, courageous and risk-taking.
�Waltzing Matilda� is probably the most famous of all Australian ballads, considered by some an unofficial national anthem. Paterson wrote it in 1895, when staying with friends at Dagworth station, Queensland. 

�Mulga Bill�s Bicycle� strikes a humorous chord. Published in the Sydney Morning Herald in 1896, it was written at the height of the 19th-century bicycling craze.
