GUEST,Warren in Bateau Bay Craigielee/Waltzing Matilda (109* d) RE: Craigielee/Waltzing Matilda 12 Jun 00

Good idea for all to check publication(s) by Richard Maclaughlin on origins and explanations of the allegory of WM. Note: It was announced today that RM was awarded an OAM for his services Australian folklore. In short, Paterson was really writing about the plight and freedoms of the Australian people in allegory form - same tactic as the writers of many of the common nursery rhymes of today. I was surprised that there was no references to RM here.
