Publishers Description: Who was ‘Anzac mac’? ‘Blue Bob of Borroloola’? ‘Crooked Mick of the Speewah’? How did the terms pommy, jackeroo and ‘cocky-farmer’ originate? What is the meaning of phrases like ‘Beyond the Black Stump’, ‘It’s a find day for travelling’ and ‘To give someone the drum’? Australian folklore has all the answers.
