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.
