06. Waltzing Matilda

The final song & video release in the DREAMING AUSTRALIA series.

Waltzing Matilda, the lyric written by Banjo Paterson in the 1890s, is a universal tale of the man-on-the-land chasing down the King’s game.

His ‘Matilda’ is the bed on his back. Some say she reminds him of his woman.

Australia was cleared by men but settled by sheep and cattle.

What now is a man to eat?
