G'day Fsh,

We Aussies have no problem with the confluence of dance and pack of belongings ... the basic reference to Waltzing Matilda is about the swagman carrying his "Matilda" - his swag - his bundle of possessions with the observation that carrying a side-slung bundle looked a bit like dancing. (Plus the Germanic input ... "auf die walz" is travelling the roads with all your living and trade gear in a bundle.)

Regard(les)s,

Bob
