Paterson,+Banjo

RESEARCH SCAFFOLD 



[] || He was born on the 17th of Febuary 1864 at Narrambla || [] || He was the oldest of 7 children and loved growing up in the country. When he was 7 his family moved to the Yass district. Thre on the main route to Sydney to Melbourne watched the coaches and horses every day and started writing about them. Then in 1874 he went to Sydney Grammar. After failing the Scholarship to Sydney UNI Paterson served articals of clerkship. Banjo is famous for his poems, his support during world war 1, his articles and his dedication to life. || [] || Chronological reference to people and experiences that influenced the person explaining how they influenced them. || When he was young he watched horses every day and that inspied him to write about them that soon became some of the greatest pieces of poetry of all time. || [] || [] || As a young man Paterson joined enthusiastically in the Sydney social and sporting scene, and was much sought after for his companionship. Norman Linsday in //Bohemians of the Bulletin// (1965) remembered him as a 'tall man with a finely built, muscular body, moving with the ease of perfectly co-ordinated reflexes. Black hair, dark eyes, a long, finely articulated nose, an ironic mouth, a dark pigmentation of the skin … His eyes, as eyes must be, were his most distinctive feature, slightly hooded, with a glance that looked beyond one as he talked'. || [] ||  || By the verdict of the Australian people, and by his own conduct and precept, Paterson was, in every sense, a great Australian. Ballad-writer, horseman, bushman, overlander, squatter—he helped to make the Australian legend. Yet, in his lifetime, he was a living part of that legend in that, with the rare touch of the genuine folk-poet, and in words that seemed as natural as breathing, he made a balladry of the scattered lives of back-country Australians and immortalized them. He left a legacy for future generations in his objective, if sometimes sardonic, appreciation of the outback: that great hinterland stretching down from the Queensland border through the western plains of New South Wales to the Snowy Mountains—so vast a country that the lonely rider was seen as 'a speck upon a waste of plain'. This was Paterson's land of contrasts: 'the plains are all awave with grass, the skies are deepest blue', but also the 'fiery dust-storm drifting and the mocking mirage shifting'; 'waving grass and forest trees on sunlit plains as wide as seas', but the 'drought fiend' too, and the cattle left lying 'with the crows to watch them dying'. || [] || His stories and his dedication to the bush and his country. || [] || Well known persons working at the same time. || Harry 'Breaker' Morant (an army officer) ||^  || [] ||^  || Why do their life is regarded as significant and why they are admirable. || Establishes when and where the person died and the effect their work and values had on people. || [] ||^  || http://clatterymachinery.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/banjo-paterson-profile.jpg
