The term 'stockman' equates to 'cowboy' whereas 'squatter' and 'grazier' equates to 'rancher'. The coolibah tree is sometimes spelled 'coolabah'. Swagmen were common in the bush in times of economic depression and 'going bush' meant tramping like 'hoboes' in America. They also referred to it as 'on the wallaby'.
