	Waltzing Matilda
		The song was written in 1895 by Banjo Patterson, a famous Australian poet, and the music written (or possibly adapted by) Christina Macpherson.
		The tune is most probably based on the Scottish song Thou Bonnie Wood of Craigielea which Christina Macpherson[?] heard played by a band at the Warrnambool[?] steeplechase.
		Bob Macpherson (the brother of Christina Macpherson[?]) may have told this story to Banjo at believed a ride together to the Combo Waterhole[?].

		Macpherson explained that she did not know of any words.
		'It is clear that Miss Christina Macpherson, who had heard the Scottish tune Craigilee played by a band at the annual Steeplechase race meeting at Warrnambool Victoria in April 1884, met Paterson when he visited her brother, Bob Macpherson, at Dagworth.
		There being no piano at the homestead, the tune that Christina had memorised she played to him on an autoharp, which is like a zither.

		And one night in 1895, Banjo Paterson was staying on the family property when Christina decided to play a lively tune on a zither, which is a kind of small, flat harp you play on the table.
		So the tune of this is stuck in her head as a sort of aural memory, and off she went to Dagworth Station and must have been humming it, and she and Banjo together created the song out of it.
		And the handwritten manuscript of Christina Macpherson is a national treasure.

		Documents Magoffin uncovered, including an original handwritten manuscript of the song and a 1931 letter written by Christina Macpherson, showed that Waltzing Matilda had been based on the shearers' strike, and on the traditional Scottish air Craigilea.
		In the sitting room of the Macpherson's ranch, known as Dagworth Station, Banjo Paterson was pondering the bravery of the shearers in the face of arms and authority.
		By chance, according to Magoffin's research, Banjo heard Christina Macpherson play, on her autoharp, a melody she said she had heard but could not name.

		By the end of August 1894, violence escalated to the extent that meetings were held in Sydney and a bill was tabled in Queensland Parliament to deal with the trouble in the west.
		The morning after the shed was burnt Bob Macpherson (The Squatter) and three policemen, Senior Constable Austin Cafferty (Badge no. 420), Constable Michael Daly (Badge no. 89) and Constable Robert Dyer (Badge No. 175) rode down to the four-mile billabong to arrest the unionists camped there, but instead found the body of Samuel Hoffmeister.
		One evening Christina Macpherson played for him Craigielee, and Banjo immediately took a liking to the tune and it would seem, not the only thing that took his fancy.

		Macpherson, who had the ability to remember a tune and then play it on the piano "by ear", gave her dreamy and whimsical rendition of Tannahill's song to a friend, the noted Australian poet and writer Andrew "Banjo" Paterson.

		In Australia, copyright survives the death of the author for 50 years; so presumably that copyright expired in 1991, and hence the original words would seem to be no longer subject to copyright.
		It doesn't appear that copyright in Christina Macpherson's tune was originally asserted.
		I'm not sure when she died, but if she was 25 when she wrote it in 1895, and lived to 80, she would have died in 1955, suggesting an expiry date of about 2005.

		Christina is said to have believed she was playing a tune she'd heard a few months earlier.
		The tune that Christina is supposed to have been remembering was a march arrangement of a Scottish ballad 'Thou Bonnie Wood o' Criagielea' of about 1818.
		The first publication of 'Waltzing Matilda' in the form of sheet-music did not use Christina Macpherson's tune, but a different one attributed to Marie Cowan; and this is the version that is most commonly played.

		He ostensibly was in the district to court the daughter of a neighbouring squire, but found himself keeping company with a Miss Christina MacPherson.
		Miss MacPherson, it happened, recently had been to the horse races in the colony of Victoria, where she heard, danced to, and memorized a Scottish melody called Thou Bonnie Wood of Craigielea.
		It was picked up by Banjo Paterson, set to music by Christina MacPherson, and melded with a real tale from Australia's wild West into a verse that equally thrilled the swells of Sydney and touched the hardened men who lived a life of toil, hunger and solitude in a rolled-out swag.
