  Banjo Patterson
Andrew Barton "Banjo" Patterson (1864 - 1941) was a famous Australian bush poet[?].
Patterson himself, like a majority of Australians even then and even more so since, was city-based and indeed was a practising lawyer.
One may contrast his work with the (almost as famous) prose of Henry Lawson, a contemporary of Patterson's, including his work "The Drover's Wife", which presented a considerably less sugar-coated view of the harshness of rural existence of the late 19th century.

 Banjo Hangout Discussion Forums - Blanton Owen's Banjo
It was a fretless that he'd built himself on the pattern of Fred Cockerham's with an 11" rim and formica fingerboard.
Blanton's banjo was hard to play even for a fretless because he hadn't built the neck with any reinforcement and it had developed a backbow.
I may be doing myself a disservice by telling you this, but the rim on my banjo is from a 1940 Kalamazoo tenor, now minus the resonator it came with, and the RB-00 neck was built by John Ramsey.

 Everybody's Tuned to the Radio: Track Listing
A champion banjo picker in her own right, Bessie Patterson handed down to her young son a repertoire of traditional songs and the rudiments of his unique playing style, described by folklorist Art Rosenbaum as “a combination of up-picking with chordal brushes and three-finger melody playing.”
Among the regular listeners to Uncle John Patterson’s distinctive brand of pre-bluegrass string band music on WLBB was the younger sister of Leon Newman, a guitarist who occasionally accompanied Patterson on his program.
This early recording of one of the first bluegrass banjo pickers in Carroll County provides evidence of the impact of Earl Scruggs, Don Reno, and other masters of the 5-stringed banjo on “hillbilly” musicianship in West Georgia during the 1950s.

 Moviehole.net - Banjo Patterson's The Man from Snowy River (DVD)
More a re-imagining of the tale than a sequel to the films, The Man from Snowy River uses Patterson’s elongated poem as the template for a weekly drama series about a new ‘Man’ and the other inhabitants of the Snowy River high country.
Clarke’s in his element as the beefy bushman, Matt McGregor, who after the death of his wife, is forced to raise his three children alone and run a large horse and cattle property by himself.
The series doesn’t have much in common with either the movie or the ode (only naming its town ‘Patterson’s Ridge’ after author Banjo Patterson) but it still possesses the same beautiful locations, panorama and compel as both the feature and the original poem.
