| Notes | This ballad of the sheep-stealing swagman is known the world over. Here with the original lyrics and Freya Blackwood's stunning ochre-tones paintings, we are treated not just to the swagman's story, but to the story of the shearers' strikes of the time, of the squatter's family, and of the dangers of 19th century travel in the outback. - Sound disc contains a vocal version of Waltzing Matilda sung by John Williamson, as well as instrumental and singalong versions. |
