Waltzing Matilda poem

Today this week we unpacked the literary devices and language in banjo Paterson's very famous poem called Waltzing Matilda. Some of these words mean something but said in a different way than others say it, for example Swag man is a seasonal worker, Jumbuck is a sheep. The poem is telling us how hard it was years ago in Australia. The Swag man would rather jump into the water hole then spend his life in prison.
