Waltzing Matilda: Australia's Accidental Anthem

Author(s): W Benjamin Lindner

Australiana

 


 

Written by a criminal barrister, this is a forensic history of the sometimes mythical account of the writing of Australias internationally famous song.

This song that started as an accidental collaboration in outback Queensland in 1895 caused the death of a seven-year relationship and went on to inspire a nation during World War II, following Banjo Paterson's death in 1941. Waltzing Matilda Australia's Accidental Anthem written by a criminal barrister, is a forensic history of the events, the people and the places that led to the writing of Australia's internationally famous song. This evidence-based approach dispels many of the myths and historical inaccuracies that have become folklore. The facts about the swagman, the contribution of Christina Macpherson and Sarah Riley and the timing and the place of the composition are all revealed.
