AWP-56-Waltzing Matilda, Australia's Unofficial National anthem
Every Australian knows the words to 'Waltzing Matilda'. On the surface it's a song about a swagman who steals a sheep and drowns himself in a billabong to avoid capture. But, it's more than just a quaint bush ballad. Behind the story of the song lies politics, industrial unrest, class divisions and of course economics.
