As the stock are slowly stringing. Clancy rides behind them singing. For the drover�s life has pleasures. That the townsfolk never know. First published in 1889, Banjo Paterson�s iconic poem has been loved by generations. Capturing the grit of the city, and the longed-for freedom of the wide, open plains where Clancy rides, it is now published with stunning new illustrations by award-winning illustrator Andrew McLean.
