An Apple Books Classic edition.

Andrew Barton “Banjo” Paterson was a poet, journalist, and author. He’s best known for his poem “Waltzing Matilda,” widely considered the unofficial national anthem of Australia.

Written at the turn of the 20th century,An Outback Marriage tells the story of an Englishman who sets out to find an heiress in colonial Australia. What follows is a romantic, humorous depiction of the bushland and its people—complete with brawls, horse chases, and, of course, a marriage.
