Step 1 : Introduction to the question "8. "Down came the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred, down came the troopers, _______ . " In "Waltzing Matilda", how many troopers came to the waterhole to see the swagman? "



...1. 2 2. 3 3. 4 4. 5 "Down came the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred, Down came the troopers, one, two, three, Whose's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag? You'll come a waltzin' Matilda with me." The stories about the origins of the song differ, however what we do know is that Banjo Paterson and his finace Sarah Riley were staying at Dagworth sheep station near Winton in Queensland. A schoolfriend of Sarah's called Christina Macpherson (Christina's brother managed the property) played a version of a song called "Craigeelee" on an autoharp or zither. Some time during the visit Banjo penned the words, Christina wrote down the score and an icon was made. (Thanks to www.anu.edu.au/people/Roger.Clarke/WM/ for this information)
