Sung round campfires, on the track, on verandahs and as party pieces, bush songs have been part of Australian life for more than two hundred years. Originally created to honour the bush and its people, these songs are now treasured by urban and rural Australians alike.

A.B. 'Banjo' Paterson published the original Old Bush Songs in 1905 to preserve bush songs during a period of massive social change. In this centenary edition, two of Australia's premier folklorists have preserved the best of Paterson's collection and extended it by drawing on their own work as collectors, and the work of other researchers. The result affirms this country's unique and robust tradition of folk and work songs, ballads and parodies, illustrating our pioneering heritage in all its richness and diversity.
