Synopsis
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.
"A significant history of the origins of the song, it will probably become a new bible for those who love to argue about facets of Australian nationalism, poetry, and folklore.
… Without her (Christina Macpherson) there would have been no waltzing and no Matilda. Lindner’s book virtually clinches this argument."
Geoffrey Blainey AC
