It could be called their unofficial national anthem. Most Aussies know all the words to "Waltzing Matilda", but not the words to their national anthem. Swagman or swaggie = bum or gypsy; Billabong = oasis or watering hole; Coolibah tree = a species of tree; Billy = pot of water for cooking; Jambuk = sheep; Tuckerbag = bag for carrying belongings; Squatter = landowner; Troopers = police or sheriffs TrackbacksThe trackback URL for this entry is: http://cid-1880e557214f7955.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!1880E557214F7955!331.trak Weblogs that reference this entry
