Paterson's more notable poems include " Clancy of the Overflow" (1889), "The Man from Snowy River" (1890) and "Waltzing Matilda" (1895), regarded widely as Australia's unofficial national anthem.

Rolf Boldrewood
Thomas Alexander Browne (born Brown, 6 August 1826 – 11 March 1915) was an Australian author who published many of his works under the pseudonym Rolf Boldrewood. He is best known for his 1882 bushranging novel ''Robbery Under Arms''. Biography Browne was born in London, the eldest child of Captain Sylvester John Brown, a shipmaster formerly of the East India Company, and his wife Elizabeth Angell, ''née'' Alexander. His mother was his "earliest admirer and most indulgent critic . . . to whom is chiefly due whatever meed of praise my readers may hereafter vouchsafe" (Dedication Old Melbourne Memories). Thomas added the 'e' to his surname in the 1860s. After his father's barque ''Proteus'' had delivered a cargo of convicts in Hobart, the family settled in Sydney in 1831. Sylvester Brown took up whaling and built a stone mansion, ''Enmore,'' which gave its name to the suburb of Sydney.Introduction to ''Robbery Under Arms'' by Dr. A. T. Brissenden, The Discovery Press, 1968 Thom ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Frying Pan's Theology
Frying is the cooking of food in oil or another fat. Similar to sautéing, pan-fried foods are generally turned over once or twice during cooking to make sure that the food is well-made, using tongs or a spatula, while sautéed foods are cooked by "tossing in the pan". A large variety of foods may be fried. History Frying is believed to have first appeared in the Ancient Egyptian kitchen, during the Old Kingdom, around 2500 BCE.Tannahill, Reay. (1995). ''Food in History''. Three Rivers Press. p. 75 The first record of frying technique in the western world had been traced from a painting in the 16th century which depicted an old lady frying an egg. Variations Unlike water, fats can reach temperatures much higher than 100°C (212°F) before boiling. This paired with their heat absorption properties, neutral or desired taste and non-toxicity, makes them uniquely valuable in cooking, especially frying. As a result, they are used in a wide variety of cuisines. Further advanta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

A Mountain Station
A, or a, is the first letter and the first vowel of the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its name in English is ''a'' (pronounced ), plural ''aes''. It is similar in shape to the Ancient Greek letter alpha, from which it derives. The uppercase version consists of the two slanting sides of a triangle, crossed in the middle by a horizontal bar. The lowercase version can be written in two forms: the double-storey a and single-storey ɑ. The latter is commonly used in handwriting and fonts based on it, especially fonts intended to be read by children, and is also found in italic type. In English grammar, " a", and its variant " an", are indefinite articles. History The earliest certain ancestor of "A" is aleph (also written 'aleph), the first letter of the Phoenician alphabet, which consisted entirely of consonants (for that reason, it is also called an abjad to distinguish it fro ...

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 ...
