AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Will dreams of going waltzing Matilda with Ollie - the Indigenous swagman who comes to shear at his family's station. But then Ollie disappears... Like Banjo Paterson's Waltzing Matilda, this story encourages us to see swagmen not as criminals, but as people who needed support and compassion. This book will give young readers insight into this chapter of Australian history and a new appreciation for Banjo Paterson's Waltzing Matilda.' (Publication summary)
