    love banjo

    Banjo captured the beauties of the bush like nobody else. 

    I like Lawson too, mind you, but they were very different characters and saw the bush in very different ways. There is a great deal of truth in both interpretations. Lawson's The Drover's Wife is a powerful counterpoint to Clancy - both capture an essence of the bush that is instantly recognisable to anyone who has spent time out there.

  2. Song of The Open Road, by Walt Whitman rates high with me (as does much of the original edition of Leaves of Grass.

    I like The Road Less Travelled By by Robert Frost

    Clancy of The Overflow and Come by Chance, both by Banjo Patterson

    I also like the poetry of the Viking poet Egil Skallagrimsson
