He exchanged law for journalism in 1901 and subsequently worked as a newspaper correspondent and editor in Australia and abroad. He wrote prolifically, producing four books of verse, two novels and several collections of sketches and reminiscences, and his war dispatches were highly acclaimed.Banjo is Australias most famous poet.

Ballads such as The Man from Snowy River, Clancy of the Overflow, The Man from Ironbark, Mulga Bills Bicycle and Waltzing Matilda have become a legendary part of our Australian heritage.In 1939, two years before his death, he was appointed a Commander of the British Empire for his contribution to Australian literature.
