Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson was a major icon of poetry all around the world!. Believe it or not , he actually had more than just one famous piece of poetry!. Some of these poems included 'Waltzing Matilda', 'The Man from Snowy River', 'The Man from Ironbark' and 'Clancy of the Overflow'!.

However, his still most famous poem is 'Waltzing Matilda'!. It was published by him in 1895 and still remains to this day, the most famous poem in Australia's history!. It was even popularly suggested as the national anthem!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
