The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: voicesoftoday.net/banjo A Banjo Paterson Collection Narrated by Denis Daly Andrew Barton 'Banjo" Paterson (1864 - 1941) may be considered the unofficial poet laureate of Australia. After training as a solicitor he began contributing verse to the Sydney "Bulletin" under the pseudonym of "The Banjo", taken from the name of a horse. His first collection, "The Man from Snowy River", was published in 1895. Two further collections followed: Rio Grande's Last Race and Other Verses in 1902 and Saltbush Bill, JP. and Other Verses in 1917. Paterson's verse reflects the times in which it was written. His Australia was one which "rode on the sheep's back," with vast stock stations, populated by rugged drovers, hard-living shearers, and unsympathetic and unscrupulous squatters (owners of rural properties). He frequently draws a rather idealized contrast between the winsome freedom of the wanderer in the bush and the harassed city dweller, chained to unwilling service at a desk in an office. The subjects of many of his poems are related to horses and horse racing, in both of which the poet had a lifelong interest.

I'm delighted to introduce a man I've known for six decades. Max Presnell had just returned from England to regenerate his career with Fairfax newspapers, as I kicked off with Sydney station 2GB. Max recently called time on an association with Fairfax which embraced a total of 67 years- perhaps a world record in the newspaper game. I don't know how we can cover 67 years in an hour or so, but let's give it a crack. Max explains the reasons for his recent departure from the Sydney Morning Herald. He talks about the evolvement of his popular 2017 autobiography “Good Losers Die Broke”- a rollicking review of his life in racing. Max, son of a publican talks about the unusual  experience of spending his early years in a famous Sydney Hotel. He tells a funny story about a lady who happened to be the sister of Stanley Wootton, owner of the hotel in question. Max talks of many well known visiting trainers who stayed at the pub when in Sydney. I'll let Max tell you about a chirpy little regular who earned the dubious nickname of “two bob Tommy”. The legendary writer talks of his father Roy who ran the pub for 25 years. Max talks of the white cockatoo Roy brought back from a duck shooting excursion. That cocky became a legend in his own right. He talks of his feelings whenever he walks into the Doncaster Hotel today. Max takes us back to his employment as a copy boy with the old Sydney Sun. He remembers his cadetship and the thrill of becoming a graded journalist in 1961. He talks of his lifelong penchant for a punt and recalls a massive win on the Doncaster-Sydney Cup double in 1961. Max was on steward's room duties the day Mel Schumacher was outed for life after the infamous “leg pull incident in the AJC Derby. His memories of the steward's inquiry remain vivid.   He looks back on a sabbatical from the Sun and a long sea voyage to England where he freelanced for three years. Things got so bad at one stage that he had to “hock” his binoculars. The veteran racing scribe talks of several freelance jobs he was able to secure in England. He reminisces about a proposed plunge on a horse in the Ascot Gold Cup. The horse in question was a noted mudlark. Max was delighted when rain continued to fall but was in for a rude shock. For the first time in twenty five years, the Gold Cup meeting was called off. You won't believe what happened to his punting bank. Max looks back on his return to Sydney in 1964 and the start of phase two of his amazing association with Fairfax. He talks of his admiration for the works of Banjo Paterson. Max remembers his very successful  transition into radio and television. A disagreement with Channel 7 Sports Director Rex Mossop saw him stand down from the popular “Punter's Post Mortem” programme. Some time later he returned to Channel 7 in a different format. He pays tribute to some of the great journalists with whom he got to work over a long period of years. Max acknowledges some of the great horse trainers of his era with special mention of Jack Denham. He fondly remembers the days when many racecourse figures carried curious nicknames. Max was unable to recall the name of his new website, but hopes his old fans will visit from time to time. It's my great pleasure to pay tribute to a true giant of racing journalism.

Australia owes a debt of gratitude to Banjo Paterson (and Henry Lawson) for their great short stories that chronicled the quirky and unique characters and places of Australia in its early days.  These three short stories- His Masterpeice, Sitting in Judgement, and Thirsty Island tell of the days when Australia was "the wild west" in more ways than one.

Waltzing Matilda is described as 'the people's song'.  More well known than the real Australian National Anthem around the world, Banjo Paterson's jaunty little ditty actually contains clues to some turbulent times he witnessed in Australian history.  This episode shares a little background about the much loved song.

Many Australians know lines from Dorothea Mackellar's classic poem ‘My Country' by heart, very little has been written about the poet's extraordinary life. From her childhood and youth in Sydney's Point Piper and Pittwater, to discovering her love for the Australian landscape on her brother's farm in Gunnedah, Dorothea engaged with the intellectual elite of Sydney and abroad as she embarked on a decades long literary career that saw her linked to some of the leading lights of her day.Battling against a masculine tradition of Australian bush poetry led by Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson, Dorothea Mackellar boldly carved out a place for herself, leaving an indelible mark on the Australian imagination. Now, for the first time, the poet's unconventional life story is told – a hidden gem of Australian history, and a tale of one woman's extraordinary passion for her poetry, her family, and her country.In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Deborah Fitzgerald about the boon and the burden of Dorothea Mackellar's most famous verse and the deep feeling she harboured for Australia and its landscape, and the remarkable contribution Dorothea Mackellar made to Australian literature.

Henry Lawson was one of Australia's most celebrated literary giants. Best known for his stark and striking poetry and short stories, Lawson's raw depictions of life in the Australian bush strike a chord in the hearts of anyone who reads his work. Unlike his contemporary Banjo Paterson, whose romanticised portrayals of bush life have captured the hearts and imaginations of so many, Lawson strove to paint bush life with vivid reality, often capturing the loneliness and hopelessness surrounding it. In many ways, Lawson's work seems to have depicted his own personal circumstances as he was given to alcoholism and increasingly suffered bouts of depression, especially towards the end of his life. This week we look at the life and times of this renowned Australian poet and some of the lessons we can learn from his life and work.

In this episode Gyles & Aphra Brandreth travel to Australia which is amongst the largest countries in the world and home to the world's biggest coral system.

And we hear from Jaya Savige, an Australian Poet living in London who shares one of his poems from his most recent collection, Change Machine (2020), which was a finalist for the Australian Prime Minister's Literary Award. Poems this episode include: Clancy of the Overflow by A. B. (“Banjo”) Paterson; My Country by Dorothea Mackellar; and Whatever the question, the cordless by Jaya Savige 

19-OCTOBER-1917. While serving within the Australian Remount Depot, Australian Imperial Force as a Squadron Commander, Major Andrew Barton "The Banjo" Paterson served with distinction as part of the Desert Mounted Corps during the First World War.

The saga of Australia continues with... Girt Nation: The Unauthorised History of Australia, Volume 3 (Black Inc., 2021). David Hunt tramples the tall poppies of the past in charting Australia's transformation from aspiration to nation - an epic tale of charlatans and costermongers, of bush bards and bushier beards, of workers and women who weren't going to take it anymore. Girt Nation introduces Alfred Deakin, the Liberal necromancer whose dead advisors made Australia a better place to live, and Banjo Paterson, the jihadist who called on God and the Prophet to drive the Australian infidels from the Sudan 'like sand before the gale'. And meet Catherine Helen Spence, the feminist polymath who envisaged a utopian future of free contraceptives, easy divorce and immigration restrictions to prevent the 'Chinese coming to destroy all we have struggled for!' Thrill as Jandamarra leads the Bunuba against Western Australia, and Valentine Keating leads the Crutchy Push, an all-amputee street gang, against the conventionally limbed. Gasp as Essendon Football Club trainer Carl von Ledebur injects his charges with crushed dog and goat testicles. Weep as Scott Morrison's communist great-great-aunt Mary Gilmore holds a hose in New Australia.

The saga of Australia continues with... Girt Nation: The Unauthorised History of Australia, Volume 3 (Black Inc., 2021). David Hunt tramples the tall poppies of the past in charting Australia's transformation from aspiration to nation - an epic tale of charlatans and costermongers, of bush bards and bushier beards, of workers and women who weren't going to take it anymore. Girt Nation introduces Alfred Deakin, the Liberal necromancer whose dead advisors made Australia a better place to live, and Banjo Paterson, the jihadist who called on God and the Prophet to drive the Australian infidels from the Sudan 'like sand before the gale'. And meet Catherine Helen Spence, the feminist polymath who envisaged a utopian future of free contraceptives, easy divorce and immigration restrictions to prevent the 'Chinese coming to destroy all we have struggled for!' Thrill as Jandamarra leads the Bunuba against Western Australia, and Valentine Keating leads the Crutchy Push, an all-amputee street gang, against the conventionally limbed. Gasp as Essendon Football Club trainer Carl von Ledebur injects his charges with crushed dog and goat testicles. Weep as Scott Morrison's communist great-great-aunt Mary Gilmore holds a hose in New Australia.

Australia has the largest wild horse population in the world with numbers estimated in the range of half a million. In the Outback they're regularly culled by helicopter and nobody bats an eyelid - the battle between those who are opposed to the horses being culled, and those who say they're ruining the pristine alpine environment they call home.   Walkley-award winning journalist Anthony Sharwood has written a new book, the Brumby Wars.   He paints the picture of a culture war between those who want the brumbies culled and those who want them protected   And… Anthony unearths new evidence that reignites old claims The Man From Snowy River – is part of whitewashed history. As in the... stockman from Banjo Paterson's poem – was actually, originally, an Indigenous man.   TODAY'S HEADLINES Western NSW focus of new Covid crisis Victoria records two Covid deaths at restrictions to ease 500,000 Covid vaccines arriving from Singapore Taliban celebrates as last US flight leaves Kabul Alcott through to Paralympic gold decider Follow The Briefing Instagram: @thebriefingpodcast  Facebook: TheBriefingNewsAU Twitter: @TheBriefingAU  YouTube: http://bit.ly/TheBriefingSUBSCRIBE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our next guest features across two episodes or more aptly ‘stanzas'.  Rupert McCall openly and at times emotionally shares his story growing up in a sports mad family, onto a brief career a solicitor and onto world fame as Australia's modern day Banjo Paterson. In Stanza 1 (part 1) Rupert sits down with our director Chris Bates and produces some pockets of gold when discussing the silver linings of Covid, the life lessons of travel, the art of decision making and building resilience, all highly relevant for our budding student-athletes preparing for their US College opportunity.

It's harder to get more Aussie than the poet who created Australia's unofficial 2nd anthem.'Poems Of The Bush' by Banjo Paterson is a picturesque book that combines his descriptive poetry with the colourful plates of Aussie artists. As the name implies, these are 23 of his over 160+ poems that are centred on the Australian outback and its rugged beauty. Two of his most notable works are not included (Waltzing Matilda/The Man From Snowy River) but it does include classics such as Clancy Of The Overflow, With The Cattle and Sunrise On The Coast.I summarised the book as follows. "This is about as Aussie as Aussie can get. It's hard to think of another Australian poet (although that might just be my lack of artistic education showing). It contains a pretty good description of what scenery we have to offer on the inside of our country. I myself don't love this type of nature so struggled to really connect with his poems, but they are decent enough."As always, I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.
