Carlton Dawe
William Carlton Lanyon Dawe, generally known as Carlton Dawe (30 July 1865 – 30 May 1935), was a prolific Australian author of over 70 books including romance, mystery and crime. Biography William was born in Moonta, South Australia in 1865 to Henry Dawe and Francis Lanyon. Dawe was born in Adelaide and came from an old Cornish family. He grew up with his sister, Gwendoline Lanyon Dawe. Dawe came to Melbourne with his parents around 1880. In 1885, he published in ''Sydonia and other Poems'' in London, beginning a trend of publishing novels in both this city and his local Melbourne. In 1886 ''Love and the World and other Poems'' was published in Melbourne. As these poems were possibly considered no more than average quality, they did not suggest any particular promise. These two volumes of poetry gave rise to Dawe's writing career. In the same year in Melbourne, Dawe published his first attempt at fiction, a novel entitled ''Zantha.'' Four years later, another volume of poetr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Geebung Polo Club
"The Geebung Polo Club" is a poem by Banjo Paterson, first published in '' The Antipodean'' in 1893. It was also included in his first anthology of bush poetry ''The Man from Snowy River and Other Verses'' in 1895. It is one of Paterson's best-known poems and combines several of the most frequently recurring characteristics of his poetry - humour, tragedy and horses. The poem's unnamed narrator clearly admires the rough and ready "Geebung Polo Club", who are contrasted with their wealthy city opponents - "The Cuff and Collar Team". The only geographic reference in the poem is of the Campaspe River, which flows north through central Victoria to the Murray River. Scottish-Australian bush poet, and acquaintance of Paterson, Will H. Ogilvie penned ''For the honor of Old England and the glory of the game'' in 1897. Although similar in nature to Paterson's earlier-written ''The Geebung Polo Club'', Ogilvie's work was written after an actual polo competition in Parkes, New South Wal ...
