 Clancy of the Overflow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Clancy of The Overflow" is a poem by Banjo Paterson, first published in The Bulletin, an Australian news magazine, on December 21, 1889.
Clancy was also represented by Jack Thompson in the movie "The Man From Snowy River" - and Clancy is also represented in the musical theatre production "The Man From Snowy River: Arena Spectacular" (during the recitation of the poem by Steve Bisley as "Banjo Paterson", when the poem is being re-enacted in the show).
The poem is written from the point of view of a city-dweller who once met the title character, a shearer and drover, and now envies the imagined pleasures of Clancy's lifestyle, which he compares favourably to life in "the dusty, dirty city" and "the round eternal of the cashbook and the journal".

 Print Article: Clancy of the Overflow film in the works
Banjo Patterson's classic poem Clancy of the Overflow is to be made into a big budget feature film, and Russell Crowe has already been approached about starring.
Producer Simon Wincer said Clancy was a mysterious figure and he wanted to maintain the mystery about who might play him.
The timing was right for another epic Australian film and Clancy would have the broad appeal to make it a hit overseas as well, he said.
