This book was created to familiarise Australian students with our best-known works of literature and song.
The convict songs of the early days of the Australian colonies became the foundation of Australia's bush music. Bush ballads recorded the harsh way of life and descriptions of contemporary events. They provide an accurate record of the lives and loves of bush rangers, swag men, drovers and shearers. The poems and songs that have come from people's experiences of living and surviving in the Australian bush were often written by ordinary, everyday people and are a record of the colourful language of bush life.
Having children study these works will help our unique culture and history to live on into future generations. |
