Andrew Barton (Banjo) Paterson, author of 'The Man from Snowy River' and 'Waltzing Matilda', is Australia's best-known poet, and his tales of bush life and adventuring are as fresh today as when they first appeared.
'Mulga Bill' is one of Paterson's most memorable characters. The story of his famous bicycle ride, which ends in Dead Man's Creek, carries us along in humorous verse that has instant appeal.
Kilmeny and Deborah Niland's delightful illustrations catch the mood and humour of Paterson's verse with great spirit and this book has become an enduring classic.
