Andrew Barton "Banjo" Patterson (1864 - 1941) was a famous Australian 'bush poet'. He wrote many ballads and poems about Australian life, focusing particularly on the rural and outback areas.

One of his most famous poems is Waltzing Matilda, which was set to music and became one of Australia's most famous songs.

His image and a short section from one of his poems appears on the (AUD) $10 note.
