â€˜Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, Whoâ€™ll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me?â€™ Everyone knows the words. Many people know that the poet â€˜Banjoâ€™ Paterson wrote them. But how may people know the origin of the tune? In 1895 a young woman named Christina Macpherson sat down and played a marching tune sheâ€™d heard. â€˜Banjoâ€™ Paterson, who was visiting Christinaâ€™s brother, liked it and wrote the words of a song to it. That song was â€˜Waltzing Matildaâ€™. â€˜Banjoâ€™ became famous, and so did â€˜Waltzing Matildaâ€™. But Christinaâ€™s part in the songâ€™s creation was forgotten and she disappeared from history until the 1970s. Come a-waltzing with Christina now and discover her story â€“ beginning in the first year of her life, when she encountered the ruthless bushranger Dan Morgan...
