Mr. Andrew Barton Paterson, better known throughout Australia as âBanjoâ Paterson, died at a private hospital, in Sydney, yesterday afternoon, after about a fortnightâs illness.
Mr. Paterson was a prolific writer of light topical verse. His ballads of the bush had enormous popularity. He was in his 77th year.
âBanjoâ Paterson was born at Narrambla, and passed his earliest years at Buckinbah, near Obley, on an unfenced block of dingo infested country leased by his father and uncle from the Crown. When he was six, the family moved to Illalong, a dayâs ride from Lambing Flat diggings, where Young now stands.
