	Australia's Bard @ National Geographic Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Paterson took up his pen again and began to write, not a letter this time but a little gem of a ballad, for he had a sideline writing humor and verse for a popular weekly magazine under a pen name, "the Banjo"—a name he borrowed from a racehorse his family used to own.
		Paterson wrote his biggest international hit while on holiday in outback Queensland in 1895, where he'd come to spend some time with his fiancée, Sarah Riley, and her family, near the town of Winton.
		Paterson retired from the newspaper business in 1930, was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire for his services to literature, and seemed a trifle bemused by the impact a handful of his outback ballads—written so long ago—still had on the national psyche.

	[minstrels] Come-By-Chance -- A. B. "Banjo" Paterson
		Paterson packs the entire punchline of his parody into the phrase "'twas the Postal Guide, in fact", and then, the reader having been supplied the promised laugh, uses the lines as a springboard into a decidedly non-parodic poem.
		By verse three, the poem is pure Paterson; we recognise and welcome the familiar scenes of the Australian bush, and the men who inhabit it.
		Another thing I found fascinating about today's poem is how Paterson uses the same basic metre as 'The Raven', but by deft use of pacing and secondary stresses ends up with a very different sounding poem.

		Come visit or revisit if you are old enough, a truly fascinating place enjoyed by young an old where Mr Paterson comes alive on stage to talk of good and hard times, to see him lapse from his engaging conversation into the inevitable and unforgettable verses that thrilled a nation.
